[Evaluation of 1st semester activity of the Algiers Poison Center].
The Poisons Center located in Bab el Oued University Hospital of Algiers has been opened to the public since January 2, 1991. The staff is made of public health physicians and pharmacists residents trained in toxicology. Phone calls are a new means for obtaining advice on poisonings and the public must be informed on the modalities of use. The number of calls shows that people are willing to use this fast and effective medium. A specific data sheet was created. The analysis of calls includes the origin of call, the nature of products used, the age range the clinical condition of patients, the recommended treatment and the outcome when known.
