[Hydrocarbon poisoning in children].
Carbohydrate poisoning is among serious children intoxications, made possible by inadequate stocking; boys, one to five years old, are particularly at risk in a series of 43 children examined and admitted in Hôtel-Dieu de France Hospital over a 10-year period. Outcome is constantly good, after a short hospital care; clinical exam and chest X-ray are of particular value on admission. Some cases may need home care, whereas others should undertake hospital day care; treatment is discussed and long-term follow-up is being stressed on.
