RESUMEN
Se expone el caso clínico de un escolar de 5 años de edad, que un mes antes de su ingreso presentaba alteraciones neuroconductuales, cefalea y síntomas generales, además de ser tratado ambulatoriamente a causa de anemia carencial. Ingresó en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátricos del Hospital Infantil Sur Docente de Santiago de Cuba con hipertensión endocraneana benigna y evolutivamente se le diagnosticó una intoxicación plúmbica, al manipularse sustancias que contenían plomo en su medio familiar, el cual penetró en su organismo por vías oral e inhalatoria. Ese hallazgo constituyó el punto de partida para la confirmación de otros afectados por el citado metal en su entorno comunitario(AU)
