  • Title: [Non-accidental criminal poisonings].
    Author: Dally S.
    Journal: Rev Prat; 2000 Feb 15; 50(4):407-9. PubMed ID: 10748673.
    Abstract:
    Among the different types of chemical aggressions, murder is very rare. Most cases are less straight forward: "jokes", ill-wills, impulsive acts.... Pesticides, metals, household products and illicit drugs are most often in cause, in addition to self-defence sprays. Intoxication may be suspected by the victim, in which case paranoia should be eliminated. In other cases, unusual circumstances or symptoms are suspected by the physician. The toxicological analysis must be guided by the clinical context.
