The clinical and laboratory findings of 21 children with amitraz poisoning were evaluated retrospectively. Poisoning route, signs and symptoms of poisoning, duration of hospitalization and outcome were recorded. The mean age was 3.5 ± 1.9 years and the ratio of males to females was 1.63. In all cases poisoning was via the oral route. The time from ingestion to onset of symptoms was 30 – 180 min. Drowsiness (100%) and loss of conscious­ness (100%) were the most common clinical findings, followed by vomiting (61.9%). Hypotension was observed in 66.7% of cases, brady­cardia in 61.9%, respiratory depression in 42.9%, hypothermia in 9.3%, and 14.3% had generalized seizures responsive to diazepam. Hyperglycaemia and glycosuria were detected in 47.6% and 38.1% of cases, respectively. Minimally elevated trans­aminases and alkaline phosphatase levels were detected in 23.8% of cases. All patients recovered completely and were dis­charged within 1.0 – 5.2 days (mean, 2.1 ± 1.1).
