Dear D r . Lenahan:
;ou herewith the analytical results on your patients, and
A> I. have Indicated ^ i M j h ^ r e n d r t s , the lead concentrations in the
H o o d and urine
are within normal limits, while
the findings in the case of Pandaravan are clearly indicative of
significant lead exposure- within the recent past. You will note
that there is a considerable discrepancy between the urinary lead
concentration and that in the blood h this case. This suggests
that there may hove seen some contamination of the sample of urine
in the process oj. its collection. On the other hand, the lead
concentration in the. blood is significantly high, and this might
just be one of those high variants from the average anticipated
result. In any case, I should consider that these findings justify
the diagnosis of lead intoxication if the signs and symptoms are
otherwise' compatible with that diagnosis. The symptoms which you
describe do not appear.to be specific or necessarily diagnostic,
and I should feel that yvrouunr* ndiieargrnrosisn uwronuld depend somewhat upon
this man *s response ;-o.removal from exposure1. In any case , it is
apparent that his lead exposure has
