Lead can cause
neurologic damage (learning disabilities or hyperactivity
to mental retardation)
Routine screening is usually only recommended
for high-risk children (e.g., the child lives in old building and is a paint-chip eater or near a battery recycling plant).
If level is more than 10 micro gram only close follow up and observation is required.
Treatment is indicated at >45 microgram.
First step towards treatment should always be cessation of exposure.
Drug therapy involves treatment with succeimer or DMSA
