Childhood Lead Poisoning - OK Management Guidelines
No level of lead in the body is known to be safe. Primary treatment for all blood lead levels (BLLs) is prevention of lead exposure and the timely and effective reduction of any exposure that may have occurred. In addition to the long-known major sources of lead exposure (lead-contaminated paint, dust, and soil), other potential sources are being recognized. Ongoing coordination between the medical provider and the local public health team is essential for effective follow-up of lead exposed children.
