ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A total of thirty cases of aluminium phosphide poisoning were studied for gross and microscopic changes in various organs of the body ie, lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, brain, stomach and adrenals. The histopathological changes revealed varying degrees of congestion, oedema and leucocytic infiltration, changes suggestive of cellular hypoxia. The most dramatic effects were produced in lungs, kidneys and adrenals.
