| Abstract | During the past 10 years, we have had the opportunity of observing and treating approximately 250 patients ill with industrial lead poisoning. In several instances, irreversible reactions due to the effects of lead upon the peripheral nervous system, occurred as a result of active mobilization of lead by the continued use of high calcium therapy after removal of the individual from the occupational hazard. In this communication, we are calling attention to the danger of the prolonged use of high calcium therapy in the treatment of lead poisoning. Four cases in which the prolonged use of large amounts of calcium was responsible for permanent and irreversible damage to the nervous system are being cited. |
