Abstrakt		Background. In this article the author presents the most frequent causes of poisoning among children in Pomurje, and examines the extensiveness and consequences of insecticide poisoning during childhood in Pomurje. Methods. Included in the retrospective study were all children from 0 to 15 years of age hospitalized in the Children's Ward at the General Hospital in Murska Sobota from Jan. 1, 1978 until Dec. 31, 1991. Results. In that period, there were 330 cases of all kinds of poisoning of which the majority, 192 (6O per cent ), were poisonings from medications. Second were poisonings from alcohol (16.6 per cent ), and in third place were pesticide poisonings (11.2 per cent ). Conclusions. Health education in the local population and knowledge of handling pesticides is lacking. Due to negligence and canelessness (faulty packaging, improper storage), childnen unwittingly come into contact with poisons. A comparatirve study of pesticide poisoning in other regions of the Republic of Slovenia which have smaller portions of farmer than Pomurje would prove interesting.
