Abstract

Background: Today poisoning is a serious problem in the world and it is the second cause of death following infections. In this study we evaluated EPIDEMIOLOGIC status of pediatric poisoning in Ahvaz.Methods: In this retrospective study we reviewed all of the files of the children referred to Amirkabir and Abozar hospitals. Results: 58.2% of poisoned children were male and 41.5% were female. The most common age range of the patients was between 1 and 3 years. The causes of poisoning were PETROLEUM (kerosene) in 43.6%, drugs in 31.8%, narcotic substances in 13.6%, insecticides in 5.5% and toxic plants in 5.5%. Three of the cases died. Conclusion: The most common cause of poisoning was PETROLEUM but in east European and North American countries are household materials like vitex. Often family members prescribe opium and other products to relieve some complaints of the children. Opium in infancy is very hazardous, and sometime leads to death. Often poisoning happens incidentally and parents should be careful in preserving the drugs and chemical substances.
