Abstract

Analyzing the problem of poisons and poisonings over the centuries can be seen that despite the different genealogies, the development of clinical and forensic toxicology runs parallel. However, slightly different areas of interests have been needed to produce. Staying in parallel position and complement each other, they form a single discipline - Toxicology. The analytics is the core of toxicology, because the turning point of the toxicology evolution was the development of laboratory diagnostic methods, whose role is still increasing, enabling decision-making and consultative medical examination. The toxicology history is fascinating and covers wide issues of the poisonings epidemiology, research methods, cognitive sphere, including the mechanisms of poisoning, expanding the practice through the casuistry and jurisdiction in terms of criminal responsibility, medical errors and the cause of death.
