highlight the importance of BLL testing
after arrival, coordination with public
health authorities to ensure that refugee
children are placed in lead-safe
housing, and education of families
about lead hazards. In Burmese refugees
resettled from Thailand, such
hazards still include products brought
from camps, such as traditional remedies,
cosmetics, or spices. Because of
these continued exposures, and new
exposures encountered in the United
States, providers should retest resettled
refugee children ,6 years old
within 6 months of placement in permanent
housing.8 Because capillary
BLL results can be affected by traces
of lead on the hands, any capillary
BLLs $10 mg/dL should be confirmed
with venous testing
