title: [Toxic effects of lead in children in 2 case reports].
abstract: The authors present the diagnostic examinations used in two boys 12 and 14 years of age exposed to lead in an unusual way. No specific treatment was required except the removal from the further exposition to lead. The information provided by this presentation may form a reminder to general practitioners on possible etiologic part of lead intoxication in numerous non-typical, subclinical forms of diseases. Therefore, diagnostic methods, staging of the disease, specific treatment, and prevention are also discussed.
