自公元前世纪以来，人们就认识到铅中毒的急性和慢性形式。铅绞痛、贫血、肾小管病变和运动神经病变是公认的。本文简述了早期的历史，并回顾了亨利·伯顿的重要贡献，他描述了树胶的边界是一条狭窄的铅蓝色线，宽度约为一英寸的二十分之一，而树胶的物质显然保留了其普通的颜色和状态。该体征虽不稳定，但仍是一个有价值的临床线索。版权所有（c）2007 S. Karger AG，巴塞尔。
Lead poisoning in both its acute and chronic forms has been recognised since the second century BCE. Lead colic, anaemia, renal tubulopathies and motor neuropathies are well recognised. This paper sketches the early history and remembers the important contribution of Henry Burton, who described the gums to be bordered by a narrow leaden-blue line, about the one-twentieth part of an inch in width, whilst the substance of the gum apparently retained its ordinary colour and condition. The sign though inconstant, is still a valuable clinical clue. Copyright (c) 2007 S. Karger AG, Basel.
