AB Poisoning  remains  a  significant  but  preventable  cause  of  pediatric  injury.  Phone  calls  to  poison  control  centers  regarding  pediatric  exposures  are  more  frequent  than  those  regarding  any  other  age  group.  Pediatricians  have  been  leaders  for  60  years  in  helping  to  establish  and  promote  the  study  of  medical  toxicology,  supporting  the  use  of  regional  poison  control  centers  and  promoting  the  principles  of  poison  prevention.  Although  the  basic  approaches  to  the  medical  management  of  toxicologic  problems  outlined  in  Chaps.  3  and  4  are  generally  applicable  to  both  children  and  adults,  some  issues  such  as  child  abuse  by  poisoning  are  of  particular  concern.  This  chapter  provides  a  perspective  on  the  application  of  generally  accepted  toxicologic  principles  to  children.
