Abstract
A patient with a retained bullet developed Pb poisoning in association with thyrotoxicosis. The clinical and laboratory data suggest that Pb was mobilized from an increased mobile bone pool during the hypermetabolic period with resultant poisoning. The findings give factual support to earlier concepts that Pb poisoning may occur during periods of metabolic change in an individual with an increased body Pb burden.
