title: [An autopsy analysis on 14 cases of poisoning death caused by illegal quackery].
abstract: In this paper, 14 cases on poisoning death caused by illegal quackery were analyzed. The results indicated that the causes and routes of poisoning were various, and that there were three kinds of poisoning types in illegal quackery. Main points of forensic identification were pointed out. In addition, some medical and administrative measures and possible measures were also investigated. The authors suggest that measures as above are of great importance for preventing similar poisoning and improving forensic identification.
