Carbon-monoxide poisoning, behavioural changes and suicide: an unusual industrial accident.

G Vacchiano1, R Torino.   

Abstract

We report a case of CO intoxication caused by a motor vehicle's faulty heating-system. A truck driver experienced severe mental deterioration, behavioural changes and delirium after acute CO intoxication and committed suicide 15 months later. This report examines the pathogenetic mechanism of CO, the immediate and delayed consequences of CO intoxication, diagnostic difficulties and current treatment options. The medical-legal aspects of the case are discussed.
