TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Secondary lead poisoning: a projectile housed in the human body JO - Colombia medica A1 - Gerstner Garces, Juan Bernardo SP - 230 EP - 234 VL - 43 IS - 3 N2 - With the increase of violence and use of firearms in Colombia, we may see more cases of lead poisoning in our environment, and must be prepared to diagnose and treat them. Subtle signs and symptoms as unexplained anemia, gastrointestinal discomfort and abdominal cramps, and severe as changes in behavior and neurological status, nephropathy, and unexplained death, may be associated with a history of gunshot wounds and projectiles in the human body, and must offer the patient knowledge and management strategies of pathology.
