| Abstract | HEEP COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Worldwide statistics pertaining to poisoning in children are reviewed in relation to aspects of age, sex, day of the week, hour and location where the accident occurred and initial reaction of witnesses. Most cases reported involved accidental consumption of toxicants (although occasionally cases of medicinal overdose during therapy were reported), in which male children between 1 and 3 yr were victims. Medicines affecting the nervous system and household (particularly cleaning) products were the primary toxicants; the most frequent being paradichlorobenzene, naphthalene, Javel water, codeine, aspirin, Gardenal, Phenergan, atropine, codethyline and water colors. |
