One hundred and twenty-seven accidentally poisoned children from the emergency room of the Islamic Girls College, Cairo, were compared with an equal number of controls. The highest age incidence for both sexes in poisoned children was 36 months. Males outnumbered females at a ratio of 3:2. Behavioural problems such as hyperactivity, temper tantrums, aggression, stubbornness, nocturnal enuresis and impulsiveness occurred more often in poisoned children than in controls and more often in those (24 patients) referred with accidental poisoning on more than one occasion. The families of poisoned children differed significantly from the controls in their large size, low level of education, disturbed home atmosphere and the accessibility to the child of the poisonous substance.
对开罗伊斯兰女子学院急诊室的127名意外中毒儿童与同等数量的对照组儿童进行了比较。中毒儿童中男女的最高发病年龄均为36个月。男性数量超过女性，比例为3:2。与对照组相比，中毒儿童中多动、发脾气、攻击性、固执、夜间遗尿和冲动等行为问题更为常见，在那些因意外中毒而多次就诊的儿童（24例）中更为频繁。中毒儿童的家庭在家庭规模、教育水平低、家庭氛围不和谐以及有毒物质对儿童的可及性方面与对照组有显著差异。
