Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The article demonstrates, using a case report, that death following an accident may have rarely encountered causes that are not a direct result of trauma and that can only be detected by autopsy. CASE: An unconscious woman aged 57 years was admitted to hospital. Despite immediate surgery for intracranial haemorrhage diagnosed by means of cranial computed tomography, the patient died showing clinical symptoms of circulatory depression after a brief period of stabilisation. The autopsy established myocardial infarction with hypersensitivity angiitis as the cause of death. CONCLUSION: In this case, the authors hold the opinion that the intravenous application of antibiotics during the patient's stay in hospital resulted in hypersensitivity angiitis. The factors causing hypersensitivity angiitis, the morphological picture (clinical, histological) and therapeutic measures are described.
