Diagnosis is built on many things, including the circumstances of the accident, the observations recorded at the place where it occurred, the signs of illness that appeared on the toxin, as well as the results of the tests.
1 - Conditions of the accident and examination of the place: The most poisonous to suspect is the occurrence of similar acute symptoms in people who ate food or drink one. The presence of some toxic chemical or pharmaceutical in the room. Or empty bottles used to store these materials.
2 - Signs of disease: Most of the symptoms and signs that appear on the poisoned is not distinctive, it is often considered the case of poisoning as a natural disease and vice versa also possible as it may be suspected of poisoning in a number of acute symptoms that end with rapid death, such as inflammation of the pancreas of the hemorrhagic, intestinal perforation leading to inflammation Brittany sharp or severe brain bleeding leading to coma. Symptoms of poisoning varied and can be summarized in several points, the most important:
A- Symptoms of intestinal: It is nausea, vomiting, colic and diarrhea, and these are almost common in most poisoning and may indicate the color of vomiting on the type of poison Blue in the poisoning of iodine and yellow when poisoning with nitric acid or bicryl and black when toxic poison poisoning and red evidence of the presence of mucous membrane and possible occurrence In the cases of aspirin poisoning, vomiting that darkens the dark indicates phosphorus poisoning (a common substance used in the elimination of mice). The vomiting has a distinctive characteristic odor, such as cyanide poisoning and inorganic phosphorus (garlic odor).
B - Hepatic symptoms: more frequent in the poisoning of chlorpromazine and phenylbutazone and contraceptives, phosphorus, chloroform and halothin, and manifested in jaundice in different degrees of severity and hypertrophy in the liver.
C - Kidney symptoms: manifested in the lack of urine or interruption and contain the protein, blood and cylinders (casts), and these symptoms more common with poisoning of mercury and carbonic acid (phenic) and oxalic and others, as shown in sugar aspirin-aspirated urine.
D- Respiratory symptoms: cough, glaucoma, dyspnea with congestion and oedema. These symptoms are especially related to poisoning of fumes and irritable gases. The normal rate of respiration in morphine poisoning, barbiturates, and other sedatives and hypnotics is also slowed, while atropine and cocaine Aspirin, cyanide and others (normal respiration rate in adults is about 16 times per minute.
E - cerebral symptoms: The result of the injury of the central nervous system and take several forms:
Coma: as in the poisoning of hypnotics, sedatives, morphine, alcohols, general anesthesia and others.
Convulsion: As in streptocaine, cocaine, amphetamine, nicotine, blood sugar, insecticides and antihistamines in children and others.
* Mania: It is a poisoning of alcohol, Atropine, cocaine, cannabis, amphetamine and others.
The symptoms of hemoglobin are manifested in different forms of anemia. Some toxins also change the structure of hemoglobin into carbon monoxide (carboxyhaemoglobin) and the transformation of nitric compounds into methaemoglobin, both of which are not suitable for oxygen transport.
3 - Analysis: It is the only way to confirm the diagnosis and the search for toxins in two stages:
A - Isolation and extraction of poison.
(B) Determination of the type and quantity of poison.
