In this study, we investigated the epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary characteristics of drug intoxications in children in the pediatrics department of the Habib Bougatfa Hospital in Bizerte over a 3-year period. We collected 57 cases of drug intoxication, with an overall incidence of 1.5%. The average age of hospitalized children was 4 years, and the majority of intoxications were accidental (80%). The drugs most frequently involved were neuroleptics, beta2 mimetics and paracetamol. The majority of children were asymptomatic on admission, and the outcome was favorable in 87.5% of cases. However, death was noted in 28% of cases. Our results underline the importance of prevention and vigilance to avoid these drug intoxications. We propose awareness campaigns for parents and the creation of a poison control center to facilitate toxicological research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiem Barbaria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 6207904672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786207904679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Our Knowledge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.13d","brand":"Wiem Barbaria","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446473765119,"sku":"9786207904679","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b2b1ae3-829c-4e48-86aa-7dddb22a32a6.jpg?v=1777224874","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/drug-intoxication-in-children-wiem-barbaria-9786207904679","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
