Dear Dr. Koerber s
I am sending you herewith the result^o^our analyses on the
blood samples of your patient
Unfortunately
these results do not permit us t^maK^an^very satisfactory
interpretation. The lead concentration in the blood is
definitely above normal limits, but it is in that middle ground
which makes it rather uncertain. In view of the history that
you have given me, I would be disposed to believe that this man
ha3 been continuing a mild and not very significant exposure to
lead compounds. However, I would be much safer in making this
interpretation If I had adequate results on urinary samples.
As I pointed out elsewhere, the range of values obtained on
blood Is rather narrow, whereas that on the urine is much
wider and permits a much more precise Interpretation to be
made. I would consider it advisable to^obtain .additional
samples on this man, both as a check on the possibility that
the samples just analysed may have been slightly contaminated
in the process of collection, and also as a means of giving an
Interpretation of the course of a somewhat unusual and perhaps
controversial case.
For our own convenience In not carrying accounts, I am sending you herewith a bill to cover the cost of the analytical work.
Cordially yours,
EAK ef Enc.
