N2  - Present study was undertaken to determining the trends of childhood poisoning and parental negligence responsible for their poisoning. Insecticides and medicinal tablets were the commonest poisoning in children, commonly seen in age below five years. The poisoning is usually accidental in nature. Non-caring and poverty were the commonest reason of parental negligence with almost 50% of the parents had taken education up to primary school or less; and most of the parents were of low socio-economic status with poisonous substances causing poisoning were commonly available at home.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
