Abstract

A preterm infant born to a woman with chronic lead poisoning was found to have the highest blood lead level recorded for a surviving neonate. Parenteral calcium disodium edetate, but not oral succimer, was effective in reducing the infant's lead burden in the neonatal period. An exposure assessment revealed the mother's long-term ingestion of lead-contaminated herbal tablets as the source.

摘要

一名患有慢性铅中毒的女性所生的早产儿，其血铅水平是存活新生儿中记录到的最高值。在新生儿期，肠外给予依地酸钙钠可有效降低婴儿的铅负荷，而口服二巯基丁二酸则无效。暴露评估显示，母亲长期摄入受铅污染的草药片是铅暴露源。
