SP - 423 EP - 424 VL - 45 IS - 6 N2 - We report the results of a study on poisoning by ingestion of toxic products in children performed in the Pointe-à-Pitre hospital from January 1986 to June 1989. We found a high frequency of domestic poisoning, a balanced sex ratio, a prevalence among the 1-5 years old children and a high annual cost of hospitalization. This underlines the need for intensified preventive measures.
