ABSTRACT
From 1958-1962, 975 children under 9 years of age (an average of 195 per year) were admitted to the Pediatric Unit of Kingston Public Hospital because of an accident which had happened at home. This represented 7 percent of total admissions. Ingestion of noxious substances was the most common accident - an average of 88 children per year falling into this category and of those 57 had taken kerosene oil. The annual average for burns, foreign bodies and trauma was 54, 36 and 17 respectively. The causes of poisoning were analysed in detail and some features of the organo-phosphorous group, chenopodium, the phenothiazide group and the Jamaican physic nut discussed (AU)
