Toxicological information conducted by Polish Poison Information Centres based on selected cases of acute intoxication.
The paper presents relatively diversified answers provided by Polish Poison Control Centres concerning the diagnosis and the treatment of the three standard acute poisonings. This diversity resulted from the lack of standardized, compatible, reliable and up-dated system of information. There is an urgent need to establish the national network of RPCC in Poland. The up-dated source of information and unified system of collecting data should be introduced as soon as possible.
