Total 39 poisoning cases were studied from OPD (Out Patient Department) to IPD (In Patient Department), followed from admission to recovery or death in a systematic manner.

Among 39 cases, male 31 cases (79.48%) predominated females 8 cases (20.51%) with majority (41.02%) belonging to 41-50 yrs age group. The commonest poison encountered was the Organophosphorous compounds (48.71%). Suicide (79.48%) was the commonest manner than accidental poisoning.
