Abstract
Because of its favorable side effects profile, the oral chelating agent dimercaptosuccinic acid is often used for treatment of lead intoxication. We report a case of a 45-year-old black male with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and a 17 year history of occupational lead exposure who developed hemolysis during treatment with dimercaptosuccinic acid for symptomatic lead intoxication.Entities:
