Abstract

AbstractA case‐finding survey was made of eight month old infants in attending routine hearing tests in a Victorian Shire. Capillary blood samples were taken and standard haematological indices assessed as well as free‐erythrocyte protoporphyrin levels. Only 1 child out of 148 tested had a Hb level below 10 g/dl and there was no evidence of lead toxicity. There was no relation between free‐erythrocyte protoporphyrin level and volume of daily cows' milk intake as reported by the mother.
