The Clinical Spectrum of Plumbism; an Experience from a Tertiary Care Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan
Background:Lead toxicity continues to remain a concerning health problem for developing nations like Pakistan. Due to the lack of studies, we aim to highlight the clinical spectrum of lead poisoning in patients presenting to an urban-based tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. Method:This is a retrospective review of patients admitted form January 2011 to December 2014 using a structured question...
متن کاملBluish pigmentation of the gingiva in a homeless patient: a quiz. Burton's line revealing chronic lead poisoning (plumbism).
A 57-year-old Japanese man presented with a 10-year history of a plaque on his face. The lesion had gradually increased in volume. Physical examination revealed a brownish-grey plaque, approximately 5 x 5 cm in size, with ulcération on the right nasolabial area (Fig. la). Dermoscopy showed a milky-red area with some milia-like cysts and dilated vessels on the surface (not shown). Histopathologi...
متن کاملEffect of L-arginine, dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and the association of L-arginine and DMSA on tissue lead mobilization and blood pressure level in plumbism.
Lead (Pb)-induced hypertension is characterized by an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a decrease in nitric oxide (NO). In the present study we evaluated the effect of L-arginine (NO precursor), dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA, a chelating agent and ROS scavenger), and the association of L-arginine/DMSA on tissue Pb mobilization and blood pressure levels in plumbism. Tissue Pb levels...
متن کاملA Case of Lead Encephalopathy
I am recording the notes of this interesting case for several reasons. It is a most uncommon condition. Out of 2,448 cases of plumbism reported during the last four years under the Workshops and Factories Act, only 84 were cases of encephalopathy; and Janquerel, the French physician, in his clinic reports 1,217 cases of colic, 101 of palsy, and only 72 of encephalopathy, of which latter 16 died...
متن کاملHigh accuracy (stable isotope dilution) measurements of lead in serum and cerebrospinal fluid.
The concentration of lead in blood, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine was measured in patients with neurological disease and in control subjects including cases of plumbism. A plot of blood lead versus serum lead resembles the familiar curves of blood lead versus either free erythrocyte porphyrin or urinary delta-aminolaevulinic acid in that serum lead is constant up to a blood lead concent...
