Abstract
Acute poisoning with OP pesticides is not frequent in Serbia, however, it represents important clinical feature due to severity, possible complications and their impact on duration and costs of hospitalization. Initial treatment involves prevention of further absorption and provision of supportive care, followed by administration of specific antidotes. According to its role, the National Poison Control Centre in Belgrade, in addition to treatment of acute poisonings, continuously performs toxicovigilance, i.e. the identification, investigation and evaluation of various toxic risks in the community in order to undertake adequate and timely procedures. Permanent efforts are being made in order to reduce availability and to improve control measures for pesticides marketing.
