title: [Death rate in acute poisonings].
abstract: The analysis of death rate, based on data for the years 1989-1990, obtained from nine regional centres of clinical toxicology, is reported. A high death rate is observed in poisonings with toxic mushroom (Amanita phalloides), ethylene glycol, methyl, alcohol, pesticides, corrosive substances and metabolic compounds. As to pesticides the highest death rate is produced by poisonings with dipyridyl derivatives and organophosphorous compounds. A low death rate is observed in the case of poisonings with drugs.
