METHOD OF DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF DEATH DUE TO ACUTE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING IN ALCOHOLIC INEBRIATION AND ALCOHOLIC INTOXICATION OF MILD AND MODERATE DEGREE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61B5/117 G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine; forensic medicine.

SUBSTANCE: relates to methods of differential diagnosis of death due to acute carbon monoxide poisoning in ethyl alcoholic intoxication, and can be applied in expert practice for identification of direct cause of death. Microscopic morphometric test of adrenal glands is taken using semi-quantitative 4-points evaluation system to estimate blood flow in the left adrenal zona glomerulosa, intensity of lipidation in the left adrenal zona glomerulosa, intensity of diffuse lymphoid infiltration in the right adrenal zona glomerulosa, to calculate in mcm² area of adrenocorticocyte nuclei of the right adrenal zona glomerulosa using formula: Р2=100%-Р1, where P1 is probability of assigning case to control group, P2 is probability of assigning case to those died of carbon monoxide poisoning, A is intensity of blood flow in the left adrenal zona glomerulosa, B is intensity of lipidation in the left adrenal zona glomerulosa, C is intensity of diffuse lymphoid infiltration in the right adrenal zona glomerulosa, D is^{area of adrenocorticocyte nuclei of the right adrenal zona glomerulosa in mcm2, and atР2>Р1 death due to acute carbon monoxide poisoning in ethyl alcoholic intoxication is diagnosed.}

EFFECT: more high precision and information value of differential diagnostics is provided.
