Aspects of forensic medical diagnosis of acute opiate poisoning

The case study is dedicated to morphological changes occurring in the organs and tissues in lethal outcomes due to acute poisoning with narcotic substances; it is also dedicated to the structure of an acute respiratory insufficiency in unexpected "heroin" death and to delayed death after intoxication. The clinical-and-anatomical analysis of the material, involving the immunological, biochemical, chemical and spectral examination data, has been undertaken.
