ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: Determine the epidemiology of intoxications in the emergency service medico-surgical. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The stady was retrospective and transversal from January 2002 to December 2006 in the service of medical surgical emergencies of the teaching hospital Gabriel Touré. Where included all patients admitted and presenting with acute poisoning. Chi2 test was used to compare our results and the level of significance set at p <0.05. RESULTS: Over 5 years, 365 cases of intoxication were collected on a total of 10997 admission with a prevalence of 3.32 %. Patients aged of 0-20 years accounted for 46.58% of cases. The female patients were predominant with 62.47 % of cases. Pupils and students predominated with 31.51 %. Antimalarials were found primarily at the base of poisoning with 32.33 % of cases of drug poisoning. The digestive tract was predominant with 97.81%. CONCLUSION: The typical profile of acute poisoning is a young female pupil or student who took a voluntary drug substance.

UNLABELLED: Our study was made with the C.H.U of the hospital of the Point G in the Service of Urology in Bamako in Mali. It is about a retrospective study in a service which has a dosage unit in load of F.V.V.O on average two hundred patients per annum. We included in our study all the F.V.V.O examined in the service which had an organic assessment. This assessment noted the aspect of the vagina and the topographic situation of the dent. Sometimes the examination of certain patients required a loco-regional anaesthesia and tests with the methylene blue to individualize the dent. CONCLUSION: The classification proposed is the result of an experiment on the ground. It is a tool for learning thus enabling him to distinguish from the types of dent with their forecast and from the technical epic to realize.
