[Selected medico-legal problems in cases of poisoning with substances of abuse].
In toxicological examinations of substances of abuse with respect to medico-legal purposes many problems have been discussed. A selection of biological material and proper analytical methods in confrontation with interpretation of results in reference to the subject in question seems to be a central toxicological issue. Blood and urine samples are usually used in cases of human. The problem is more complicated if it concerns dead subjects on the account of postmortem processes in a body. From this point of view, in fatal cases of poisonings experience proves, besides blood and urine also other body fluids such as: cerebrospinal fluid, vitreous humor, perilymph and bile turned out to be usefull for examinations of various xenobiotics. The analytical methods (FPIA, HPLC, GC-MS) have been used for qualitative and quantitative evaluation in wide range of xenobiotic concentration in biological matrix. Interpretation of the results including such problems as toxic interaction, metabolism, data base has been discussed in the study on the basis of intoxication cases with substances of abuse.
