“…The toxic agents found in the home, without adequate storage, may be transformed into a risk of accidents, as observed in a study in Spain, 18 in which 75% of the accidents occurred in the residence and the family members mentioned storing products for the home in nonoriginal receptacles in 26% and medications in unsafe places in 15.6% of the cases. 19 In Brazil, Lourenço et al 14 observed that 81% of the accidents occurred in the residence, with 65.4% involving 5-year-old children, and the parents or grandparents were present in 69.2% of the occurrences.…”

“…The frequency of accidents with toxic agents depends on the socioeconomic and cultural conditions, the enforcement of legislation for the control of these products, climate, and the predominance of local industrial or agricultural activity. 1 , 10 , 19 In developed countries, poisoning by medications, cosmetics, household cleaning products, and alcohol are more common. 1 - 3 In Sweden, where the majority of the population resides in urban areas, 29 848 cases of poisoning in children under the age of 10 years were registered in 2013, with 42% involving chemical products, mainly cleaning products (44%), followed by medications (28%), plants (11%), cosmetics (8%), and only 1% by snakes/insects.…”

Acute poisoning is a frequent accident in childhood, particularly in children under 4 years of age. This was a descriptive study with data collected from standardized forms of the Poison Control Center and patient record charts. All the cases of acute poisoning in children aged 0 to 14 years during the period 2008 to 2012 were selected. The variables studied comprised characteristics of the events and toxic agents, clinical development, and outcome. A total of 657 cases of acute poisoning, with higher frequency in the age-group from 1 to 4 years (48.7%) and male sex (53.4%), were recorded. The occurrences were accidental in 92% of the cases, and 5.8% were due to suicide attempts. Among the toxic agents, medications (28.5%), venomous animals (19.3%), nonvenomous animals (10%), household cleaning products (9.0%), and raticide agents (8.7%) predominated. The majority of cases were characterized as light (73.5%) and around 18% required hospitalization, and there was low lethality (0.5%).

“…En cuanto a la edad de atención de dichas intoxicaciones, existe un problema por la heterogeneidad de los estudios respecto a los criterios de inclusión en ellos. En la mayoría de centros hospitalarios la edad de atención en los servicios de pediatría es hasta los 14 años, no incluidos 34,39,41 ; sin embargo, algunos artículos de los anteriormente mostrados, incluyen a jóvenes hasta los 17-18 años 36,38 Normalmente, cuando se analizan las intoxicaciones pediátricas, se suelen distinguir dos grupos de edad bien diferenciados que engloban a la mayoría de las consultas en urgencias 45 1. Los preescolares, por debajo de los 7-5 años.…”

“…Esto supone además de un alto consumo en jóvenes, una mayor exposición pasiva en los hijos de consumidores. (García-Algar)180,181 En nuestro estudio sólo hay una persona con intoxicación por cocaína, un joven varón de 17 años.Podemos concluir que la distribución geográfica varía el consumo de sustancias y eso afecta a los resultados encontrados en el presente estudio.En el estudio de Salazar de 201434 , se observa por ejemplo que las intoxicaciones con fines recreacionales son más habituales en País Vasco, Navarra y Zaragoza que en el resto de las comunidades autónomas españolas.En nuestro estudio existen 22 casos de intoxicaciones por productos cosméticos. La edad media de esta intoxicación es de 1,73+/-1,42 años.…”
