Many children in Tuyen Quang picked up several bottles of pink liquid in plastic bags next to the school gate, then shared them and drank them, leading to poisoning.
According to information from the National Children's Hospital, the hospital consecutively received 8 children poisoned by rat poison, including a cluster of cases in Tuyen Quang.
Specifically, 5 children (aged 7-9 years old) drank the pink liquid picked up at the school gate, then vomited, had stomachaches, headaches, and some had convulsions. The children were transferred to Tuyen Quang Provincial General Hospital for treatment and then transferred to the National Children's Hospital.
Here, the children were diagnosed with fluoroacetate rat poison poisoning based on clinical and toxicology test results. The children were closely monitored and actively treated. Currently, the children's health is progressing well, but they still need to be closely monitored by doctors to prevent dangerous complications.
The Emergency and Poison Control Department also admitted two boys (8 and 10 years old, from Hoa Binh) who had to be hospitalized after accidentally eating chicken eggs injected with rat poison. After eating, both of them experienced symptoms of dizziness and nausea and were taken to the provincial hospital by their families. The children were then transferred to the National Children's Hospital for emergency treatment.
Here, doctors determined that the children were poisoned by rat poison containing bromadiolone, a substance that causes prolonged blood clotting disorders. After 1 week of treatment and monitoring at the Emergency and Poison Control Department, both children were stable and discharged from the hospital.
