An epidemiological study was conducted at the Emergency Service of the Elche General Hospital in S. Alicante province during 1989, where data was collected for patients, aged 15 years and above, treated for pesticide poisoning. Among other epidemiological parameters, the hospital prevalence for pesticide poisoning was evaluated; the prevalence rate was observed to be 0.17% of the total number of emergencies treated. The ages of patients most frequently treated for pesticide poisoning were 45 and 54 years old, in a male to female ratio of 4:1 and with a prevalence of married people. The most common cause of pesticide poisoning was from professional accidents, and all of the lethal cases (5.1%) were due to self-poisoning.
