Abstract
Superwarfarins were developed around 1970 in order to resolve the resistance developed by the rodents to the previously existing rodenticides. Superwarfarins cause, nowadays, most of the poisonings due to rodenticides. However, in our environment, it has been extremely uncommon to attend children with such poisonings. We present five children aged less than 4 years with unintentional ingestion of a superwarfarin, admitted in a Pediatric Emergency Department in 1 year time, and a revision of the literature.
