AIMS: To assess the frequency of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in children in France. METHODS: In a prospective study over a period of 1 week, we evaluated the incidence of ADRs (1) as a cause of admission to a regional children's hospital; (2) occurring during hospitalization in a regional children's hospital; and (3) as a cause of consultation with private paediatricians. RESULTS: Four out of 260 children were admitted to the regional children's hospital for ADRs (1.53% [0.42, 3.89]) and six developed ADRs during hospitalization (2.64% [0.97, 5.66]), 4/428 attended the Accident and Emergency Department for ADRs (0.93% [0.25, 2.37]) and 8/1192 consulted a private paediatrician for ADRs (0.67% [0.29, 1.31]). CONCLUSIONS: Our results are in agreement with the incidence of ADRs in children found in others countries.
