Abstract

In this report the toxicologic material obtained since 1958 in our institute has been evaluated. Of the 15,144 postmortem examinations, 997 toxicologic examinations have been carried out. In addition, 739 clinical cases have been studied during this period. There has been a monotonous increase in the number of toxicologic cases up to now. The number of cases is doubled during a 10-year period. Barbiturates are the main type of intoxicating agents found, but there is a rapid increase in the use of other drugs in the material studied. The use of nicotine is steadily decreasing but there is an increasing number of toxicologic cases in connection with the use of other plant protectives. The evaluation of toxicologic cases involving alcohol will be reported elsewhere.
