Abstract
Severe acute iron poisoning developed in a 1½-year-old child who had eaten an iron preparation that resembles a popular chocolate candy. Tablets con taining iron, with and without vitamins, and the sugar-coated candy of similar appearance, were radiographed with human gastric juice in vitro. Times of dissolution of the radiopaque tablets were noted, to assess the value of ab dominal radiographs in the diagnosis and management of acute iron poisoning.Keywords
