 	abstract = "Introduction: Poisoning each year are responsible for the death of half a million people 
 worldwide. Abuse of prescribed and non-prescribed substances and accidents with venomous
 and non venomous animals reflects on population health and the environment, causing this
 problem is considered a serious public health problem. Objective: This study aimed to outline
 the epidemiological profile of toxic events in Paraíba between the years 2009 to 2013.
 Material and Method: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study that used secondary
 data collected through the Sinan record, and submitted to statistical analysis association,
 considering a 95% confidence interval. Results: The results of this study are divided into two
 articles. The first reports exogenous intoxications and accidents with venomous and non
 venomous animals which occurred in Paraíba and notified by the only two existing centers in
 the state, the Service Center and Toxicology Information João Pessoa and Service Center and
 Toxicology Information Campina Grande. It was observed that the intoxicated Paraíba
 involved females (56.14%) living in the urban area (87%), aged 20-29 years (20.1%) and
 intermediate education, with 38.5 % have not completed primary school. The prevailing
 circumstances in the study were the individual accident (89.5%), suicide attempts (6.4%) and
 abuse (0.9%), and accidents caused by scorpions (54.9%), Hymenoptera ( 10.3%) and drugs
 (7.2%). It was observed that the patient seen in Ceatox-CG had approximately five times
 greater risk of drug intoxication than Ceatox-JP patients (p = 0.000). The same behavior
 prevailed for snake, pesticides and household cleaning accidents. Scorpion stings are about
 six times more common in intoxicated attended by Ceatox-JP. Most cases were cured
 (98.8%). The second article shows poisoning caused by drugs in Ceatox-CG, showing a
 higher prevalence of females (69.2%), aged 10-19 years (26.6%), and the complete basic
 education ( 46.3%). These toxic events were more common with attempted suicide (58.5%)
 and the individual accident (22.8%), whichever the combination therapy (39%) to cause this
 type of poisoning. Diazepam was the most involved in drug events caused by a single
 compound. The severity of the cases, stood out as predominantly mild (58.9%), with most
 evolving to cure (82.8%), with no deaths related to drugs during this period. Conclusion: In
 Paraíba, poisonings are more prevalent in women aged 20-29 years living in the urban area;
 and individual accidents, caused mostly by Scorpion stings, with the suicide attempt carried
 out by the misuse of drugs, are the two main motivational circumstances of the events. Even
 setting the intoxicated profile in Paraíba, the study shows a marked underreporting of
 poisonings in the state.",
