“…[2][3][4][5][6] In this study, hydrocarbon ingestion was the most common finding, followed by drugs, household chemicals and pesticides. While these findings are in agreement with another study conducted in Saudi Arabia, 7 they contrast with data from other studies from Tabuk, Riyadh, USA, Qatar, and the UK, [1][2][3]4,6 in which drugs are reported as the principal offenders. Joubert, in his study of black South Africans, 12 similarly noted that kerosene accounted for most (59%) acute poisoning, followed by traditional medicines (15.8%).…”

We followed up 73 of 372 calls to a Regional Poison Control Center (RPCC) that involved workplace disease/exposure(s); most other calls were not made by the workers. An average of 12 additional people per workplace were potentially exposed. Six of the 73 contacted a government agency for investigation of the hazard/illness. Twenty-five percent of callers were still exposed an average of seven months after the original call. The results indicate that poison control centers should develop a public health component to calls about possible workplace poisonings.

“…A partir de entonces su uso ha ido decreciendo y han sido sustituidos por drogas menos tóxicas. A pesar de ello siguen viéndose casos de suicidio, muerte accidental y adicción, mayormente por uso ilícito 93 . Las principal intoxicaciones suelen estar en relación con la toma de pentobarbital, secobarbital, amobarbital, siendo menos frecuentes los casos de toxicidad debidos a tiopental, barbital y pentobarbital.…”

RESUMENEn este segundo capítulo sobre Intoxicaciones Medicamentosas Agudas abordamos dos grupos de sustancias de enorme trascendencia desde el punto de vista de su uso y morbimortalidad. Dentro del grupo de los anagésicos-antiinflamatorios desarrollamos el paracetamol y los salicilatos, de enorme disponibilidad para la población. En cuanto a los anticonvulsivantes, aunque están poco implicados en el conjunto de las intoxicaciones medicamentosas agudas, sus efectos pueden ser graves. Nos ceñimos a cuatro fármacos: ácido valproico, fenobarbital, carbamacepina, y fenitoína. Finalmente dedicamos un apartado a la isoniacida, fármaco que, con el rebrote de la tuberculosis, presenta interés toxicológico.Palabras clave. Intoxicación aguda. Paracetamol. Anticonvulsivantes.

ABSTRACTIn this second chapter on Acute Drugs Poisoning we deal with two groups of substances of great transcendence from the point of view of their use and morbidity/mortality. Within the group of analgesic-antiinflammatory drugs we consider paracetamol and the salicylates, which are easily available to the population. With respect to the anticonvulsants, although they are barely involved in the ensemble of acute drug poisonings, their effects can be serious. We concentrate on four drugs: valproic acid, phenobarbitol, carbamacepine, and phenytoin. Finally, a section is dedicated to isoniazid, a drug that, with the renewed incidence of tuberculosis, is of toxicological interest.
