title: [Breath alcohol in relation to blood alcohol: problem with deviant values].
abstract: We report 23 cases of considerable differences of the results of breath alcohol analyses and the corresponding blood alcohol analyses observed by seven Institutes of Forensic Medicine in Germany and Austria. The usefulness of breath alcohol analysis on forensic casework at the courts will have to be evaluated on the bases of the possibility of such grave deviations.
