I am glad that Dr Marcus has pinched himself and woken up to 1993 hope he will now review some of the literature that he alludes to in his letter.

Although I also believe that the intentions of the CDC in publishing their Guidelines are honorable, they have placed us in an untenable position. Early drafts of the CDC statement1 on "Preventing Lead Poisoning in Young Children" provided some guidance on the issue of screening in low-risk areas.
