Pesticide-Related Hospitalizations Among Children and Teenagers in Texas, 2004–2013

Abstract: Characterizing the prevalence of pesticide-related hospitalizations among children and teenagers leads to a better understanding of the burden of pesticide exposures, including the type of pesticides used and the severity of potential health effects. This study found differences in the frequency of pesticide-related hospitalizations by sex, age, and intent (e.g., unintentional vs. intentional).

“…This differential sex-specific exposure in utero , if confirmed in other studies, should be investigated further as a potential mechanism underlying sex-specific differences in adverse outcomes. In addition, sex differences reported in pesticide-related hospitalizations among children (ages 5–14) and teenagers (ages 15–19) indicate that in addition to higher exposures in utero [117], males have higher exposures after birth as well [118], possibly due to higher risk-taking behavior than females.…”

“…5,6 Los niños menores de cinco años sufren, aproximadamente, 3.3% de las intoxicaciones. 7 Las intoxicaciones por rodenticidas, insecticidas y herbicidas se han reportado como causa de muerte en 17-19% de los casos. 8 En la actualidad se dispone de bibliografía limitada acerca de la prevalencia de exposiciones a plaguicidas en niños; esto repercute en la escasa disponibilidad de evidencia de su tratamiento; por lo tanto, el tratamiento actual se sustenta en consensos de juicios de las mejores opciones disponibles.…”

“…El problema se extiende, pues actualmente no se limita a la venta ambulante, también pueden adquirirse algunas de estas sustancias químicas en ciertos negocios establecidos. 1,2,4,7,16,17 Las principales causas de intoxicación en humanos por rodenticidas de venta clandestina están relacionadas, principalmente, con los intentos de suicidio, de homicidio y la intoxicación no intencional, especialmente algunos trabajadores del campo y en niños. 4 Las sustancias químicas camufladas, fuera de los envases originales, sin etiquetas informativas o con información ilegible o incierta, ponen en mayor riesgo de muerte a los niños que ingieren estos productos y esto disminuye la oportunidad del clínico de identificar y tratar oportuna y eficazmente al niño intoxicado.…”
