The accidental intoxications constitute more and more a serious problem among young children in the developing countries because of their frequency and difficulties for taking care of those victims. The objective of our work was to study acute intoxications among children in order to determine the frequency, to identify the products in question and to determine the impact of those accidents in the future life of the victims. The study was carried out in the Paediatric Service of the CHU Gabriel Touré from January 2001 to June 2002. We enrolled 89 children from 0 to 15 years of age. Information on our patients was recorded on investigational questionnaire and completed with data from their entry and hospitalization records. Among 8237 children hospitalized during the study period, 89 of them had acute intoxication i.e. 1.08%. Children less than five years of age were more frequent with 85.4% with a male prevalence of 61.8%. Antimalarial drugs and petroleum were the most accused products. Administration of milk and provoked vomiting were the attitudes and practices of the entourage of the victims when intoxication occurs. The evolution was favourable in 67.2% of the cases with a hospital lethality of 13.7%.
由于意外中毒事件频发且照顾中毒儿童存在困难，在发展中国家，儿童意外中毒已日益成为一个严重问题。我们这项工作的目的是研究儿童急性中毒情况，以确定其发生率，找出相关中毒产品，并确定这些事故对中毒儿童未来生活的影响。该研究于2001年1月至2002年6月在加布里埃尔·图雷大学医院儿科进行。我们纳入了89名年龄在0至15岁的儿童。有关我们患者的信息记录在调查问卷上，并补充了他们入院和住院记录中的数据。在研究期间住院的8237名儿童中，有89名发生急性中毒，即占1.08%。五岁以下儿童更为常见，占85.4%，男性患病率为61.8%。抗疟药和石油是最常被指控的中毒产品。中毒发生时，受害者家属采取的措施和做法是给孩子喂牛奶并催吐。67.2%的病例病情好转，医院死亡率为为13.7%。
