Acute poisoning plays an important role among childhood pathologies. It takes the third place among all accidents and is outnumbered only by street traumas and burns. All cases of both child and adult poisonings are divided into unintentional and intentional. The latter can have both criminal and suicidal character. The risk age group among the patients with intentional poisonings includes teenagers at the age 14-15.
