  • Title: Lead poisoning from a retained bullet: a case report and review.
    Author: Khurana V, Bradley TP.
    Journal: J Assoc Acad Minor Phys; 1999; 10(2):48-9. PubMed ID: 10826009.
    Abstract:
    A 47-year-old man with a prior gunshot wound presented with arthritis, constipation, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Arthrocentesis did not reveal the cause of the arthritic complaints, but lead poisoning was suspected and confirmed. We present this case along with a short review of the literature pertaining to this often overlooked and reversible cause of lead poisoning.
