Svensk definition
Nervstörningar hos vuxna som har samband med akut eller långvarig exponering för bly eller blysalter. Det allra vanligaste blyrelaterade neurologiska syndromet hos vuxna utgörs av en polyneuropati som omfattar de motoriska nerverna, vilket kan påverka distala nerver och yttra sig som dropphand, pga radialisneuropati. Andra tecken på kronisk blyexponering är anemi, förstoppning, kolikartad magsmärta, en blåaktig kant på tandköttet, interstitiell njurinflammation och blygikt. I sällsynta fall kan encefalopati förekomma.
Engelsk definition
Neurologic conditions in adults associated with acute or chronic exposure to lead or any of its salts. The most common lead related neurologic syndrome in adults consists of a polyneuropathy involving motor fibers. This tends to affect distal nerves and may present as wrist drop due to RADIAL NEUROPATHY. Additional features of chronic lead exposure include ANEMIA; CONSTIPATION; colicky abdominal pain; a bluish lead line of the gums; interstitial nephritis (NEPHRITIS, INTERSTITIAL); and saturnine gout. An encephalopathy may rarely occur. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1212)
