The commonest agents in India appear to be pesticides, sedatives, chemicals, alcohol, animal &amp; plant toxins and household toxins. Our hospital receives an average of 20 to 25 poisoning cases every month.</p> <p><bold>AIMS:</bold><italic> </italic>To profile all cases of poisoning those are reported to casualty department at Dr. Chandramma Dayananda Sagar Institute of Medical Education and Research (CDSIMER); to study the types and frequency of poisoning cases admitted to the centre; to study the socio demographic associations of the poisoning cases.</p> <p><bold>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</bold><italic> </italic>Present study is a hospital record-based retrospective observational study of acute poisoning cases registered in the medicolegal register in the casualty of CDSIMER, which is a tertiary care centre situated in rural area near Harohalli, Ramanagara District, India.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold><italic> </italic>Males constituted 58% of the cases and 33.52% of the cases were in the age group of 21–30 years. 81.4% of the cases were able to reach hospital between 1 to 8 hours. 56% of the cases recovered and were discharged within 3 days. In 22 cases the duration of admission was more than 2 weeks as they went into complications. Organo phosphorus group of insecticide was the most common type of poison consumed constituting to 40.8% of the cases followed by Snake bite. Attempt to suicide (60.35%) was more common than accidental poisoning.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold><italic> </italic>Insecticides mainly Organophosphorus compound are the most common group of poisons which causes morbidity and mortality in rural Indian population especially in young adults between 21 to 40 years. Owing to the presence of forests in the region, Snake bite becomes the second largest type of poisoning. Suicide frequently prevails in the rural areas; financial problem is the leading cause for farmers to commit suicide.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование</bold>.<bold> </bold>Отравления являются четвёртой по частоте причиной смертности в сельских районах Индии. Наиболее распространённые возбудители пищевых отравлений в Индии ― пестициды, седативные средства, химикаты, алкоголь, токсины животных и растений, а также бытовые токсины. В нашу больницу ежемесячно поступает в среднем 20–25 пациентов с отравлениями.</p> <p><bold>Цели исследования</bold> ― составить общую характеристику всех случаев отравлений, зарегистрированных в отделении скорой помощи больницы при Институте медицинского образования и исследований им. д-ра Чандрамма Даянанды Сагара (Dr. Chandramma Dayananda Sagar Institute of Medical Education and Research, CDSIMER); изучить типы и частоту отравлений, а также социально-демографические показатели пациентов, поступающих с отравлениями в наше учреждение.</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы</bold>. Выполнено ретроспективное наблюдательное исследование случаев острых отравлений, зарегистрированных в отделении скорой помощи в CDSIMER, которое является медицинским учреждением третьего уровня, расположенным в сельской местности вблизи города Харохалли (р-н Раманагара, Индия).</p> <p>Результаты. Число пациентов мужского пола в нашем исследовании составило 58%, 33,52% ― в возрастной группе 21–30 лет. В 81,4% случаев госпитализация пострадавших осуществлялась в течение 1–8 часов. Выздоровели и были выписаны из отделения в течение 3 дней 56% больных. В 22 случаях длительность госпитализации составила более 2 недель в связи с развитием осложнений. Фосфорорганическая группа инсектицидов была наиболее распространённым видом потребляемых ядов (40,8% случаев), на втором месте ― укус змеи. Попытки самоубийства встречались чаще (60,35%), чем случайное отравление.</p> <p><bold>Заключение</bold>.<bold><italic> </italic></bold>Инсектициды, главным образом фосфорорганические соединения, ― наиболее распространённая группа ядов, вызывающая заболеваемость и смертность среди сельского населения Индии, особенно среди молодых людей в возрасте от 21 до 40 лет. В связи с наличием в регионе лесов вторым по значимости видом отравлений становится укус змеи. В сельской местности часто происходят самоубийства, основная причина которых ― финансовые проблемы.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p/><title>简评</title> <p><bold>论证。</bold>中毒是印度农村地区第四大常见死因。在印度，食物中毒最常见的致病因素是杀虫剂、镇静剂、化学品、酒精、动植物毒素和生活中的毒素。我们医院平均每月收治20-25名中毒患者。</p> <p><bold>该研究的目</bold>的是对Chandramma Dayananda Sagar医学院（Chandramma Dayananda Sagar institute of Medical Education and Research，CDSIMER）医院急诊科报告的所有中毒病例进行总体分析，研究本院中毒病例的类型和频率以及中毒患者的社会人口学特征。</p> <p><bold>材料和方法。</bold>本研究是对急性中毒病例的回顾性观察研究。这些病例都是在CDSIMER的急诊科登记的。CDSIMER是一家三级医疗机构。它位于Harohalli市（Ramanagara district，印度）附近的农村地区。</p> <p>结果。58%的患者为男性，33.52%的患者年龄在21-30岁之间。81.4%的患者在1-8小时内接受住院治疗。56%的患者在3天内康复出院。有22例患者的住院时间超过2周，因为出现了并发症。有机磷类杀虫剂是最常见的中毒种类。此类中毒占40.8%。蛇咬伤是第二种最常见的住院原因。自杀未遂（60.35%）比意外中毒更常见。</p> <p><bold>结论。</bold>杀虫剂，主要是有机磷化合物，是最常见的一类毒药。它们是造成印度农村人口发病和死亡的原因，尤其是21至40岁的年轻人中。由于该地区有森林，蛇咬伤是第二种最常见的中毒种类。自杀在农村地区很常见，主要原因是金钱问题。</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Poisoning</kwd><kwd>Insecticides</kwd><kwd>Suicide</kwd><kwd>Snake bite</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>отравление</kwd><kwd>инсектициды</kwd><kwd>самоубийство</kwd><kwd>укус змеи</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="zh"><kwd>中毒</kwd><kwd>杀虫剂</kwd><kwd>自杀</kwd><kwd>蛇咬伤</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Mittal C, Singh S, Kumar MP, et al.
