    Persistent poisoning of children by parents, known as non-accidental poisoning, requires medical attention. Bizarre symptoms warrant toxicological analysis for diagnosis, as parental factors like marital conflict or drug abuse may be involved.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Toxicology
    • Child Abuse

    Background:

    • Non-accidental poisoning (NAP) is a rare but severe form of child abuse.
    • Identifying NAP is challenging due to the lack of obvious external signs.

    Observation:

    • Presents six cases of persistent NAP by parents.
    • Highlights unusual symptoms and signs lacking clear pathological origins as potential indicators.
    • Emphasizes the critical role of toxicological analysis for prompt diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Confirmed NAP through toxicological analysis in reported cases.
    • Identified underlying parental issues including marital discord, enmeshment, and substance abuse.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition of subtle indicators is crucial for timely diagnosis.
