A patient with generalised epileptic seizures, mental and psychotic signs was diagnosed as suffering from lead encephalopathy. He was a big consumer of home-made arrack, illicit alcohol prepared at home in secrecy, in tools containing copper and lead. Basophilic stippling increased the possibility of lead encephalopathy, which was soon proved. He was successfully treated with low doses of Versenate, a chelating factor, and totally recovered.
一名患有全身性癫痫发作、精神和精神病症状的患者被诊断为患有铅中毒性脑病。他大量饮用自制的阿拉克酒,这是一种在家中秘密用含铜和铅的工具酿制的非法酒精饮料。嗜碱性点彩增加了铅中毒性脑病的可能性,很快这一诊断就得到了证实。他用低剂量的依地酸钠(一种螯合剂)成功治愈,完全康复。
