Summary of Recommendations for Follow-up and Case Management for Children

CDC recommends testing blood for lead exposure. Two types of blood collection tests may be used:

• Capillary sample: A finger-prick or heel-prick is used to take a small amount of blood to test for lead.

• Venous sample: A small amount of blood is taken after a needle is inserted into the patient’s vein to test for lead.
