Abstract
We have performed a retrospective study (1995-2005) on 218 accidental intoxications in children less than 15 years old, linked to drugs used in the management of opiate withdrawal (cases registered at the Lille poison centre)
This study shows a peak of frequency in children less than 3 years old, with a predominance of boys.
Poisonings with buprenorphine are more frequent but ingestions of methadone are often more severe (p=0,004).
