Abstract

It is argued that the easy availability and widespread use of highly hazardous organophosphate compounds (OPC) is the most important reason for this high number of poisoning. In this study socio pediatrics aspects of children¢s acute intoxications OPC were investigated.Data collected included age, gender, time, rout of åxposure, place of accident, first aid before admission. Àll were do to accidental event attempted suicide cases. Acute OP poisoning is a the important cause of morbidity and mortality and represent serious condition that needs rapid diagnosis and tretman because. Therapy should be started as early as possible beginning from primary and secondary level so undesirable consequences can be avoided.
