title: [On the question of lead poisoning after injury by small shot (author's transl)].
abstract: On the basis of a report on a particular case the risk of lead poisoning after injury by small shots is discussed. The probability of lead poisoning is very small, when the small shots have been fired at long range or when they are placed in the connective tissue or the muscle tissue, in which case mostly a fibrous encapsulation takes place. The danger of lead poisoning is much greater when the small shots have been fired at close range, especially when a big amount of them bursts at the bone or is placed in the bone marrow where lead can better be absorbed.
