You have to provide more information about what you are trying to do.
If you have case-control data, I can't see how you can use Poisson
regression to analyse it. Poisson regression is used for the analysis
of cohort data.

Subject: st: Help needed for Poisson regresion
Can anyone help me clarify the doubt regarding the coding pattern. I am
trying to run a Poisson regression with Incidence rate Ratio for
diarrhea for a CASE and CONTROL study.
Earlier I put code 1 for the CASE and 2 for CONTROL. Later I changed the
code as 1 for CASE and 0 for CONTROL. Due to this I saw the change in
the results. Can anyone suggest me what is the correct way of assigning
codes to the dependent and independent variable.
any reference for interpretation of the results will be mush helpful.
Please Cc the response to my email ID also as I am not sure if my email
ID is still included under the forum.
Thanks
