title: [Acute ethylene glycol poisoning in the Tarnów region in the years 1982-1993].
abstract: The paper presents 15 causes of severe ethylene glycol poisoning in Tarnów region in the years 1982-1993. In the treatment haemodialyses as well as acidosis balancing and aethanol administration as an antidotum were preferred. Acute renal failure was observed in 73% of poisoned patients and mortality rate was 53%. The causes of treatment failure were: high ingested poison dose, too long time between poisoning and administration to hospital (and introduction of an appropriate treatment), critical clinical condition and severe metabolic acidosis.
