The majority of the intoxicated patients were of the low social class and they consulted the Poison Control Centre mostly in the evening after 1-2 hours of intoxication Kerosene intoxicated children had significantly lower hemoglobin values than controls. The anemia was microcytic hypochromic. Leucocytosis was observed with significant elevation of the absolute numbers of all granular and mono-nuclear white cells and bands.
