A case of lead poisoning is presented. The patient had recently returned to New Zealand from the Indian subcontinent. This prompted a search that identified lead contamination of ingested medicinal products that had been prescribed in India. There have been several case reports of lead toxicity due to contamination of Indian herbal medicines, though none, to our knowledge, previously reported from New Zealand.
本文报告一例铅中毒病例。患者最近从印度次大陆返回新西兰。这促使进行了一项调查,结果发现患者摄入的在印度开具的药品存在铅污染。此前已有多例因印度草药受污染导致铅中毒的病例报告,但据我们所知,新西兰此前尚无此类报告。
