A drug that is sometimes used to treat lead poisoning -- and is also believed by some parents to be effective against autism -- caused the deaths of two children last year, the U.S. government said yesterday.
One youngster was autistic; the other had lead poisoning. Both were treated with a product called Endrate. Their deaths mark the first documented link between a chelation drug and cardiac arrest in children.
