Child Abuse: Parenteral Hydrocarbon Administration
Keyword(s):
The recognized spectrum of child abuse and neglect has expanded enormously since the original description of the battered child syndrome by Kempe et al, in 1962.1 In addition to physical abuse, we now realize that sexual abuse and nutritional neglect, as well as emotional abuse and neglect of children are problems of considerable magnitude. Another form of child abuse reported with increasing frequency is the intentional poisoning of children. Although this form of child abuse was mentioned by Kempe et al1 in their original report, it has only recently received more recognization and attention. Because of several unique characteristics, some authors2-4 favor considering intentional poisoning as a distinct subgroup of child abuse.
