Dear Doctor Kehoe:
I have your letter of July 30 in which you requested
additional clinical data on the patient I desired
,laboratory analysis for lead poisoning.
The patient, Mr.
age 49, Carlisle, Indi
ana, has been a StaPffiK^O^^Jompany employee for the
past 24 years. In December, 1945, the first symptoms
appeared.. The patient fainted while attending church.
Examination at that time was negative. The symptoms
complained of by the patient following this episode
were: coldness and stiff'ness over the entire body, a
numbness in his feet which ascended to include his
entire legs, genera.'! malaise, headache and nausea.
Following this, lead poisoning was suspected. Samples
of urine and blood were sent to your laboratory and
lead, poisoning confirmed. The patient improved somewhat
during the next year and as a test case, he remained-
away from work for a two months' period. This was in '
1947. be steadijy improved after this but now, during
the past two to three months, Mr.
Is developing
a multiple neuritis and myositis.
Mr. would be happy to corne to Cincinnati at your convenience for the desired laboratory work and inter view. A Saturday appointment would be desirable. If this can be arranged, please notify me. Thank you very much for your letter and interest in this case.
