From 1964 to 1976, 854 children were admitted with poisoning to three intensive care units in Paris. The severity of the condition has been assessed in terms of the patients received: 1. observation only (67%). 2. routine intensive care (27%). 3. very seriously ill (6%). At the time of discharge, 92% of children were normal, 3% had minor sequelae, 3% had major sequelae; 2% died. The outcome was closely related to the severity of the illness. The main factors affecting the severity were: 1. The nature of the ingested substance. Poisoning with Amanita phalloides was the most serious with a high mortality. Poisoning with domestic agricultural and industrial products were more often responsible for major sequelae, particularly affecting the oesophagus, than drugs. 2. The type of poisoning. This was related to the age of the child. Iatrogenic poisoning of infants and self poisoning by adolescents were more serious than accidental poisoning in toddlers. 3. The toxicity of the ingested dose. 4. The interval between ingestion and effective treatment. Although all the factors are interrelated, each factor has its own prognostic value.
