RÉSUMÉ
L’intoxication accidentelle aux insecticides organophosphorés représente une cause de morbidité et de mortalité. Nous rapportons trois cas chez des enfants de 2 à 8 ans admis aux urgences du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Mère-Enfant de Libreville. Les symptômes étaient la somnolence et les convulsions. Le diagnostic s’est fait sur présentation de l’agent causal, le traitement médical a consisté en réanimation à la mise sous atropine. L’évolution était favorable chez tous nos patients. L’éducation et l’information sur les conditions de stockage de ces produits à domicile permettront de réduire les risques d’intoxication accidentelle.
ABSTRACT
Accidental poisoning with organophosphate insecticides represents a cause of morbidity and mortality. We report three cases in children aged 2 to 8 years admitted to the emergency room of the Mother-Child University Hospital of Libreville. The diagnosis was made upon presentation of the causative agent, medical treatment consisted of resuscitation with atropine. The evolution has been favorable among all ours. Education and information on the storage conditions of these products at home will help reduce the risks of accidental poisoning.
