Between August and December 2007, a mass poisoning due to adulterated marijuana was uncovered in the area of Leipzig, Germany.
Retrospective reports of patients with lead poisoning who were treated at Leipzig University Hospital. Analysis of data from the local health office, where marijuana consumers could have their blood lead concentration determined.
At Leipzig University Hospital, 35 patients (7 female; age 24.2 +/- 4.4 years) had to be treated for lead poisoning (blood lead levels 1063.3 +/- 864.0 microg/L). Five hundred ninety-seven marijuana consumers (439 men, 158 women; age 26.9 +/- 4.8 years) had their blood lead levels measured at the local health office. Among them, 27.3% had lead levels above the HBM-II threshold, 12.2% had concentrations that required monitoring, and 60.5% had levels below the HBM-I threshold.
Drug consumption should be considered in otherwise unexplained anemia and abdominal colic. Several hundred people suffered lead poisoning presumably resulting from the desire of drug dealers to maximize profits.
2007 年 8 月至 12 月期间，德国莱比锡地区发现了一起因大麻掺假导致的集体中毒事件。
回顾性报告莱比锡大学医院收治的铅中毒患者。分析当地卫生办公室的数据，大麻使用者可在那里检测血液中的铅浓度。
在莱比锡大学医院，有 35 名患者（7 名女性；年龄 24.2+/-4.4 岁）因铅中毒接受治疗（血铅水平 1063.3+/-864.0μg/L）。当地卫生办公室共检测了 597 名大麻使用者（439 名男性，158 名女性；年龄 26.9+/-4.8 岁）。其中，27.3%的人血铅水平超过 HBM-II 阈值，12.2%的人需要监测，60.5%的人血铅水平低于 HBM-I 阈值。
对于原因不明的贫血和腹痛，应考虑药物滥用的因素。数百人可能因毒贩为追求利润最大化而导致铅中毒。
