Abstrakt: Among adolescents, acute intoxications caused by drugs as well as intoxications caused by toxic substances make up an important chapter of emergency pediatric pathology. We conducted a retrospective study carried out for a period of 1 year, 2021–2022, which included a number of 37 patients, admitted in the Pediatric Clinic of the County Clinical Hospital "Sfântul Apostol Andrei" Constanța.

There is a higher tendency for substance intoxication in females (65,5% of total cases). There is a higher tendency for adolescents with suicide ideation to use substances in order to end their life because of multiple risk factors, mental health disorders putting them at a higher risk to attempt suicide.
