Title

Blood Lead Level in Children with Neurological Disorders

Pages

  66-72

Abstract

 Objective We aimed to investigate the blood lead level (BLL) in children with neurologic disorders of unknown causes and compare it with normal children. Materials & Methods In this prospective case-control study, 68 patients aged 1 to 18 yr with neurologic disorders of unknown causes, were referred to pediatric neurology clinics and wards, Shiraz, Iran selected during a 12 months period from Sep 2013. They were compared with 1: 1 ratio, age, and sex-matched healthy children. BLL was checked from all participants using 3 cc heparinized venous blood sample. Level of ≥ 5 mcg/dl was considered toxic dose. Results Totally, 136 children (68 cases and 68 controls) with mean ages of 5. 20± 4. 12 and 4. 18± 3. 86 yr, respectively, were enrolled. Mean BLL was higher in case group than in controls but the difference was not significant (P=0. 84), though they were less than toxic levels in both. In addition, the difference in mean BLLs was not significant in terms of living place, sex, and age. Totally, 17. 7% of the study sample had BLL ≥ 5 mcg/dl. The frequency of BLL ≥ 5 mcg/dl was significantly higher in case group (P=0. 024) with an odds ratio 2. 9 times higher (95% CI: 1. 066-7. 60). Conclusion Strategies in public health must focus on practicing primary and secondary preventions of lead exposure in children.
