A 41-year old man suffered from increasing attacks of colic-like abdominal pain. Laboratory tests revealed only slight anemia. Microscopic evaluation of blood smears was indicative of lead-poisoning. Elevated values for metabolites of heme-synthesis and an elevated lead concentration in blood confirmed the diagnosis. The source of poisoning could be found: lead leaching from a presumed "tin-pitcher" into cherry-brandy. After reduction of the plasmatic lead concentration with sodium-calcium-EDTA the patient became well within days.
一名41岁男子遭受越来越频繁的绞痛样腹痛发作。实验室检查仅显示轻度贫血。血液涂片的显微镜检查表明有铅中毒。血红素合成代谢产物值升高以及血液中铅浓度升高证实了诊断。找到了中毒源：铅从一个假定的“锡罐”中渗出到樱桃白兰地里。用钙钠依地酸二钠降低血浆铅浓度后，患者在数天内康复。
