摘要: We report a case of CO intoxication caused by motor vehicle's faulty heating-system. A truck driver experienced severe mental deterioration, behavioural changes and delirium after acute committed suicide 15 months later. This examines the pathogenetic mechanism CO, immediate delayed consequences intoxication, diagnostic difficulties current treatment options. The medical-legal aspects are discussed.
