title: [Taxus baccata poisoning].
abstract: Common yew poisoning occurs by per oral application of needles or extracts of needles usually. The determination of the cause of death is more difficult in the latter case. In our article, we advise of circumstances which could be helpful in diagnostic. In addition, we describe the substances contained in yew, their effect, importance and toxicological detection.
