“…[ 1 ] Although there has been made progress regarding the prevention of accidental poisonings, by using more resistant packaging and raising awareness of the composition of toxic products, they are still frequent in children, particularly in those aged 2 to 3 years old. [ 2 ] This high rate of poisoning could be explained by children's curiosity, as well as by parents’ negligence in keeping and using medicine and chemical household substances. [ 3 ] The toxic substances involved include drugs, household products, plants, hygiene, and cosmetic products.…”

Accidental poisonongs are an important cause of morbidity and even mortality, especially in young children.We performed a retrospective observational study on a group of children admitted at the Regional Center of Toxicology at the Children's Emergency Hospital “St. Mary” Iasi with accidental intoxication within a period of 3 years. Data were collected from patients’ files and processed with a SPPS 18.0 database and a 95% confidence interval.During this period, 480 children were admitted with accidental intoxication. Most of them were in the age group of 1 to 2 years (120 cases—24.3%). The etiology of these intoxications was dominated by nonmedication (67%), the most frequent being household chemicals, carbon monoxide, and insecticides. Accidental drug intoxication accounted for 33% of the cases, the main drugs involved being anticonvulsants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and paracetamol. The mortality caused by accidental poisoning was 0.62%, all deaths owing to nonmedication intoxication.Identifying the epidemiological and evolutionary aspects of accidental intoxications must be a major objective for the health system, given that this pathology can be at least partially avoided and its incidence and severity may be reduced using appropriate measures.
