Evidence of people with toxic level of lead in blood confirms that it is necessary to keep on working from a multidisciplinary approach. There should be a well-defined policy for the prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of the harmful effects of lead. Children are the population at major risk, with high social impact consequences such as lower IQ and inadequate neurological development. There are four drugs used to treat chronic toxicity: sodium calcium edetate IV and IM, succimer (oral), dimercaprol IM, and penicillamine (oral).

La evidencia de poblaciones afectadas por niveles tóxicos de plomo en sangre, confirma que hay que seguir trabajando desde una visión pluridisciplinar. Es necesario definir políticas para la prevención, detección, diagnostico y tratamiento de los efectos nocivos del plomo sobre la salud. Los niños constituyen el segmento de la población más vulnerable, con consecuencias de alto impacto social, como una disminución del coeficiente intelectual y deficiente desarrollo neurológico. En la práctica clínica, hay cuatro medicamentos que se usan para el tratamiento de la intoxicación crónica, son el edetato cálcico disódico IV e IM, el dimercaprol IM, la penicilamina VO y el succímero VO.Si se tiene en cuenta que sólo penicilamina está autorizadaen nuestro país, el problema se torna mayor. Esta brevere visión pretende brindar información sobre la intoxicación por exposición al plomo, los tratamientos recomendados y los disponibles en nuestro país. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente.
