Abstract

POISONING in one of the most common causes of emergency visits for all ages. This cross-sectional study was designed to find the local pattern of acute POISONING in CHILDREN of Shiraz. All poisoned CHILDREN who were referred to Nemazee Hospital Emergency Room, the largest Shiraz University Hospital, enrolled in this study during 1997-1998. Among 690 poisoned CHILDREN, the male to female ratio was 1.5. The most common age group was the 1-5 year age group (P =0.009), and the most common age group of admission was the 11-15 year age group (P =0.003). ACCIDENTAL ingestion of DRUGS was the main cause of POISONING (%90). The remaining toxic exposures were intentional, including 28 cases of suicidal attempts, all of which occurred in preadolescents. DRUGS, chemicals and narcotics were responsible for most of the cases. POISONING was more common in summer. 164 patients were admitted in wards and 6 patients (0.8%) died. Taking into consideration these findings, poison prevention education and child resistant packaging of DRUGS and chemicals are suggested, to decrease the cases of POISONING in the pediatric age group.
