Scope note: Lesión del sistema nervioso secundaria a la exposición a compuestos de plomo. Se producen dos patrones clínicos diferentes, en niños y en adultos. En los niños, el envenenamiento por plomo típicamente produce una encefalopatía. En adultos, la exposición a niveles tóxicos de plomo se asocia con una neuropatía periférica.

Scope note: Injury to the nervous system secondary to exposure to lead compounds. Two distinct clinical patterns occur in children (LEAD POISONING, NERVOUS SYSTEM, CHILDHOOD) and adults (LEAD POISONING, NERVOUS SYSTEM, ADULT). In children, lead poisoning typically produces an encephalopathy. In adults, exposure to toxic levels of lead is associated with a peripheral neuropathy.
