Abstract

The results of an analytical study of 340 accidental poisonings in children treated in the Children's Hospital in Beograd in the 1974-1978 period are discussed from the point of view of the age and sex of the children and the type and circumstances of poisoning. The poisonings caused by ingestion of medicaments, particularly psychotropic drugs, as well as by ingestion of petroleum distillates were found to be the most frequent. Some preventive measures such as education of parents and school age children are suggested.
