Exposure to lead-based paint is the leading cause of high-dose lead exposure among children in the United States. However, previous reports have documented childhood lead poisoning related to the use of traditional ethnic remedies (1-4), and such exposures may not be considered routinely. This article describes a case report of lead poisoning resulting from use of a traditional ethnic remedy and summarizes the identification of this problem as a result of lead poisoning surveillance in California from December 1991 through December 1992.
在美国，接触含铅涂料是儿童高剂量铅暴露的主要原因。然而，先前的报告记录了与使用传统民族药物有关的儿童铅中毒事件（1 - 4），而且此类暴露情况可能未被常规纳入考量。本文描述了一例因使用传统民族药物导致铅中毒的病例报告，并总结了1991年12月至1992年12月在加利福尼亚州通过铅中毒监测发现这一问题的过程。
