Abstract
With the publication of revised CDC guidelines in 1991, concern about

nd paint dust is currently considered the major source of lead poisoni
ng in the United States. We describe a child who had elevated BLL rela
ted to lead-contaminated clothing that the father brought home from hi
s workplace. (C) 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
