Studies in Lead Poisoning: Oral Therapy with Penicillamine: Relationship between Lead in Blood and other Laboratory Tests
AUTOR(ES)
Selander, Stig
RESUMO
Fifteen workers with lead poisoning of varying degrees were treated with penicillamine given by mouth. The effect on symptoms and pathological laboratory values was satisfactory, side effects were generally mild and the drug is considered to be a good alternative to Ca-EDTA, which must be given intravenously. Previous studies on the reliability of different laboratory tests in evaluating the degree of lead poisoning and the effect of the therapy were extended with special respect to the lead levels in blood.
