Abstract
In his recent commentary (Pediatrics, February 1994), Harvey argued that universal screening for lead exposure, as recommended in the 1991 Centers for Disease Control statement, is wasteful of resources, and that screening in low prevalence areas should be curtailed. The value of universal screening for any disease deserves careful evaluation. This is unarguable; we live and work, after all, in a period of finite resources. It is also self-evident that a sensible judgment on this matter requires solid facts and up-to-date information.
