dc.description.abstractA total of 193(4.7%) cases of acute childhood poisoning admitted to paediatric Unit of Khulna Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh over a period of two years were studied to see the age and sex distribution, ingredients used, seasonal variation etc. Out of them 107(55.4%) cases were male and rest 86(44.6%) were female. 01-03 years was the most vulnerable age group to be affected. Kerosene was the commonest form of ingredient to be used. Overall mortality rate was 4.66%. Childhood poisoning was a common Medical emergency with considerable morbidity and mortality. Parents should be educated to keep the kerosene out of reach of the children. So, that mortality and morbidity can be reduced to a great extent.en_US
