| contents | Intoxicación aguda por plaguicidas Jaime Jesús Durán Julián Collí Salud Mexico toxicity suicide attempt Key words: pesticide Objective. To describe the epidemiologic pattern of acutepesticide poisoning (APP) in a general hospital in Merida,Yucatan, Mexico. Material and methods. From 1994 to1998, 33 patients 13 years of age or older with diagnosis ofAPP were studied. Descriptive statistics were used to analyzeinformation. Results. Males were frequently affected(82%), specially those coming from rural areas (60%).The mean age of the group was 34 ± 15.8 years. In 79% ofthe cases, pesticides were used to commit suicide and 33%of poisoning cases were due to organophospate pesticides.The mortality rate was 12%. Conclusions. In this small sample,acute poisoning from pesticides in the agricultural settingmay be underestimated, since it was less frequent thanin the general population. APP was more commonly usedby indigent people to commit suicide. 2000 artículo científico 0036-3634 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10642111 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=106 Salud Pública de México application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública Salud Pública de México (México) Num.1 Vol.42 |
