When preschool children (n=101, 73.3%) (51 girls,50 boys) compared with school children(n=36, 26.8%), in school children girls were more in the foreground. The number of the admittance to the emergency department in 6 months was 59310. The ratio of the 137 intoxication cases to all intoxication cases was 0.23%. In our case series, the ratio of 85 intoxication cases to all emegency admittance generates 0.14%(62% of all intoxication cases).The most often drugs leading to intoxication were paracetamol (27%), antidepressant (8.1%), and pseudoefedrin (9.4%).
