Lead poisoning.
While lead is a very old poison whose toxicity was known to the ancient Greeks, new information about mechanisms and effects of lead toxicity is continually being discovered. Family practitioners should be alert to the possibility of lead poisoning and the situations in which it occurs. Symptoms may be non specific and careful questioning of patients or their parents may be required to identify possible exposure.
