Abstract

Twenty patients, one to nine years of age, were treated for acute hydrocarbon poisoning in the Pediatric Clinical Hospital, in the period from 1980 to 1984. The clinical course of intoxication, as well as X-ray and laboratory findings showed that even the ingestion of small quantities of the liquid (one or two sips), similarly to poisoning with large amounts, led to respiratory disturbances and CNS depression. The treatment was symptomatic, and all the patients survived, It is suggested that regardless of the amount of hydrocarbon ingested, all patients be hospitalized for observation, and if necessary for treatment.
