Dear Dr* Mahert
I am sending you herewith the analytical results obtained on
your patient,
Soi3:lS over her record and
examining the malytTcs^Wifftts, I think it is fair to say
that her complaints may veil be due to excessive lead absorption.
I vould not expect a severe lead intoxication at this level,
but it is not unusual to find mild symptoms in the case of
persons with a lead concentration in the blood of the order of
magnitude shown here. It is true that the urinary lead concen
tration in this instance is not very high. This may or may
not have been a dilute sample, but in any case, the blood level
is significantly increased, and is within the range that is
compatible with saturnine symptoms.
I feel very apologetic about the points on the needles. They are always inspected carefully, and they are supposed to be touched up if there is the slightest need for it. It seems likely that they have not been packed in such a way as to pre vent movement in transit, and they have probably been jammed
for this reason. We shall certainly put forth every effort to see that they reach you in good condition in the future.
Cordially yours,
RAX ef Enc.
