Iron deficiency and lead poisoning are common among infants and children in many parts of the world, and often these two problems are associated. Both conditions are known to cause anemia and appear to produce a more severe form of anemia when in combination. Although the nature of ...
Chronic lead poisoning and iron deficiency are concentrated in urban children from lower socioeconomic strata, and both impair neurocognitive development. Our study objective was to determine if iron fortification reduces blood lead levels in urban, lead-exposed, iron-deficient children in Bangalore, ...
Lead poisoning is a well recognized environmental health problem in children. Independent association of iron deficiency and lead exposure with elevated blood lead level (BLL) has been reported. Whether iron deficiency in combination with chronic lead exposure increases BLL and susceptibility to its harm...
Pediatricians and general practitioners must be aware of this risk, especially in children with iron deficiency anemia exhibiting pica. Key Points 1. Despite being treatable, lead poisoning and lead encephalopathy are still critical public health concerns, especially among children, primarily due to ...
Basophilic stippling is a hallmark feature of lead poisoning and sideroblastic anemia, but it may not be seen in all cases of lead poisoning. Coarse basophilic stippling is a result of impaired hemoglobin synthesis or impaired incorporation of iron into heme, causing abnormal ribosomal structure and...
Lead poisoning as final diagnosis in a study of normocytic anemia Tench, Tinca tinca, were exposed to three treatments (one acute lethal 96 hrs Lc50/48 hrs and two chronic sublethal 10 and 25% Lc50/504 hrs) each of Mercur... V Recasens,Montaés,E Bustamante - 《International Journal of...
This case illustrates the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for lead poisoning. The patient exhibited severe microcytic anemia, seizures, and developmental delay, each of which has a somewhat broad differential when considered independently. However, the combination led the clinicians ...

The DPI has been established on the basis of levels of lead in the blood of nonexposed and exposed children including those with frank lead poisoning; results of experimental lead ingestion by adults; fecal lead output in children; initial biologic effects of increased lead intake; rates of ...
Regarding hematological lab findings, out of a total of 66 inhabitants with microcytic hypochromic anemia, only 24 (12.63%) were iron deficiency anemia (IDA) confirmed with serum ferritin levels below normal cutoff value for gender and age. Additionally, subclinical leucopenia was higher in the pop...
