A case of photo-imaging agent poisoning

Acute lethal poisonings with photoprothylene ("metol") are described extremely rarely. In the available literature we found only one work devoted to the clinic and morphology of this poisoning (T.A. Savelieva). This issue is also insufficiently covered in manuals on occupational and domestic poisonings, which affects the provision of effective care. From this point of view, our case can be of interest for clinicians, forensic physicians and pathologists.
