title: [Ultrastructural changes in the skin in fatal electrical trauma].
abstract: The study was performed on 20 guinea-pigs. The animals were injured by alternating current at 380 and 220 V. The developing destructive alterations were characterized by histological, histochemical and electron-microscopic techniques, and a complex of electric markers was established. A dependence of morphological changes on the voltage values was demonstrated. The complex of alterations found may be employed for the differentiation of electric markers from mechanical or thermal injuries.
