    INTRODUCTION: Acute pediatric poisoning poses significant morbidity and mortality to a country. This study looks at the pattern of acute pediatric poisoning in ages 0-12 years old presenting to a pediatric emergency department in a tertiary hospital in Kuala Lumpur.

    METHOD: We performed a retrospective review of acute pediatric poisoning aged 0-12 years old presenting to the pediatric emergency department of Hospital Tunku Azizah Kuala Lumpur from 1st January 2021 to 30th June 2022.

    RESULTS: A total of 90 patients were included in this study. The ratio of female to male patients was 2:3. Oral ingestion was the most common route of poisoning. 73% of patients were from 0-5 years old and primarily asymptomatic. Pharmaceutical agents were the most common agent of poisoning-no mortality in this study.

    CONCLUSION: The prognosis of acute pediatric poisoning was good in the 18 months of the study period.

    Abdominal pain is one of the most common presenting complaints encountered in the pediatric emergency department. The use of point-of-care ultrasonography by emergency physicians has been shown to expedite the diagnosis of a large variety of conditions and can be used to accurately identify intra-abdominal pathology in children. We describe the case of a pediatric patient who presented to the pediatric emergency department with acute abdominal pain, in whom point-of-care ultrasonography helped expedite the diagnosis of acute portal vein thrombosis and liver abscess.
