Abstract
Poisoning in childhood mostly by ingestion of toxics, remains a frequent and potentially severe accident. They are generally avoidable and preventive programs should be reinforced. The action of the centre antipoison (CAP) in this field must be encouraged. Methods of emergency gastrointestinal decontamination are presented. It should facilitate the acute management of children suffering from poisoning by ingestion. Carbon monoxyde poisoning is very frequent and more severe than we usually think because it induces various sequellae. We developed a prospective study to determine the occurrence of unsuspected carbon monoxyde poisoning in children presenting a variety of symptoms.
