چکیده
Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death to children over age one in the USA. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Injury Research Agenda has identified supervision as one of five top research priorities [http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/pubres/research_agenda/agenda.htm].

Prevention has a main role in reducing the occurrence of corrosive ingestion especially in children, yet this goal is far from being reached in developing countries, where such injuries are largely unreported and their true prevalence simply cannot be extrapolated from random articles or personal experience.
