Abstract

Unintentional drug intoxication is still a major cause of morbidity and mortality in young CHILDREN. In order to study the epidemiological pattern of childhood DRUG POISONING in Golestan province, all cases diagnosed with poisoning from 1997 to 2002 in the only pediatric hospital in province were recruited. During this period 563 cases of poisoned CHILDREN were hospitalized in Taleqani hospital, of these 305 cases were due to DRUG POISONING. OPIUM was responsible for more than half of the poisoning cases, and 91% of deaths, among drug intoxicated CHILDREN. Metoclopramide, benzodiazepines, tricyclic antidepressants and anticonvulsants were among the other frequent causes of poisoning. Neurological symptoms were the most prominent symptoms of poisoning and more than 80% of cases showed some neurological symptoms. Mortality rate among the cases was 3.6% and of total of 11 deaths, 10 were poisoned with OPIUM. About 61% of cases were hospitalized between 24-48 hrs. Most of the poisoning cases in young CHILDREN were unintentional and in many cases, their parents played a critical role in their intoxication. This role specially is crucial in infants and CHILDREN under one year of age. Parents in Golestan province use OPIUM widely for symptomatic treatment of routine illnesses in their young CHILDREN and overdose of OPIUM may cause severe intoxication and even death of the child.
