RESUMO

In some Latin American countries acute intoxication is professionally managed by specialized physicians qualified in the area. Something similar occurs with work-related chronic intoxication in the formal sector. However, a different reality prevails for the assessment of chronic intoxication of environmental origin, since it is by definition more difficult to diagnose. For treatment of acute intoxication, Toxicological Information and Care Centers have been set up, though similar bodies have not been created for chronic environmental intoxication. Therefore, in this study a model of chronic intoxication care is proposed, using multidisciplinary teams adopting a new approach, namely Community Clinical Toxicology, the goal of which would be the simultaneous care of acute intoxication which is generally treated in hospital, and environmental intoxication that is normal dealt with at community level. The ultimate goal is to take advantage of the expertise that exists in the Region in terms of Clinical Toxicology to organize community work.
