Roxburgh RC, Haas L. The diagnostic importance of glycosuria in lead poisoning in childhood. Arch Dis in Childhood. 1959; 34:70-73 (Feb.). (2957) Three cases of Pb poisoning in children are described. They were 2 boys, 1-1/2 and 4-2/3 yr old, and a girl 6-1/4. The diagnosis of the condition was reached at an early stage after admission to the hospital because of the discovery of glycosuria, which led to further tests for Pb poisoning. The glycosuria persisted for 3 wk. There was no evidence of residual renal damage at the end of 6 mo. All 3 cases were treated with prolonged courses of oral CaEDTA resulting in prolonged excretion of Pb in the urine. Evidence is put forward to suggest that colored crayons of the yellow and orange ranges may be a danger to children on account of their content of Pb chromate.
