Abstract
Seven male silver jewellery workers aged between 25 to 70 years complained of acute abdominal colic, sweet metallic taste, constipation and anorexia. Clinical, hematological examinations and urinalysis confirmed lead poisoning. Oral therapy with D-Penicillamine for seven days led to significant improvement in patients.
