Finding Method

During 1956 and 1957 all children under the care of the child health stations of the Department of Health in New York City, who manifested pica, were examined for symptoms and signs of lead poisoning. A blood specimen was taken and tested for lead content; if the concentration of lead was 0.06 mg/100 ml or higher, the child was referred to a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Among 194 children with pica, there were 28 cases and 20 probable cases of lead poisoning. The follow-up of children with pica is a good case-finding method for lead poisoning.

Test Increase

The FEP test is a micromethod that measures rapidly and reliably free erythrocyte porphyrins in a blood sample of 20µl. The results of the FEP test increase exponentially with the blood Pb level. The FEP test was performed in 1,038 blood specimens submitted to the New York City Department of Health Bureau of Laboratories for Pb analysis. Of these, 568 had Pb levels ≥ 40µg/100 ml. The concentration of FEP was higher than 250µg/100 ml RBC (positive FEP test) in all the samples with greatly increased blood Pb level (≥ 60µg/100 ml), in 55.1% of those with ambiguous blood Pb level (40 to 59µg/100 ml), and in 5.1% of those with low Pb level (< 40µg/100 ml). The FEP test provides a biological indicator of undue lead absorption, suitable for rapid screening of children for lead poisoning. The test can easily be performed by any clinical laboratory.

In 1941 while in New York City I was fortunate enough to purchase an Armenian MS. which I believe will be of interest to students of Eastern Christian iconography.
