This paper reviews epidemiological factors, drugs taken, management and outcome of 478 children admitted to the Royal Children's Hospital with drug poisoning during the 5 years 1978-82. Accidental ingestion in young children is still common whilst self poisoning is increasing in the age group 8-17 years. Suicide attempts and self destructive ingestion accounted for 11.5% of all cases with two deaths. A significant number in this group were less than 10 years of age. Iatrogenic poisoning accounted for 11% of all cases with metoclopramide or prochlorperazine frequently involved. Benzodiazepines, major tranquillizers and antihistamines were the most commonly taken groups of drugs whilst the greatest number of admissions to Intensive Care Unit were due to tricyclic poisoning. Principles of management are discussed.
