314 normal children in the age group of 5-14 years including 169 boys and 145 girls, were studied for their blood lipids and lipoprotein levels. Mean total cholesterol (Tch) of 172.8 mg/dl, triglycerides (TG) of 66.4 mg/dl, high density lipoprotein (HDLc) of 71.2 mg/dl, low density lipoprotein (LDLc) of 88.9 mg/dl and very low density lipoprotein (VLDLc) of 13.3 mg/dl was obtained. Lipid profile did not show any significant correlation with age and sex. Serum Tch and LDLc were higher in upper socio-economic group (P < 0.01). Tch and LDLc were higher in children taking high percentage of calories from fat and consuming more animal fats (P < .01) while HDLc value had an inverse relationship to these dietic rations.

This study is a retrospective analysis of 670 cases of poisoning (including phenothiazine toxicity) admitted to this hospital in the past six years, accounting for 0.9% of all pediatric admissions. Nearly half (45%) of the cases were in the age group of 1-4 years. Medicines and chemicals were the commonest agents (53%), followed by pesticides (15%), kerosene (11.2%), plant poisons (9.4%), food poisoning (3.9%) and corrosives (1.9%). Accidental poisoning was the commonest (70%) followed by iatrogenic (29.6%) and suicidal (0.4%). Overall mortality was 1.8%. Stress is laid on judicious use of phenothiazines as antiemetics and replacing them with drugs of lesser toxicity.
