ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the pathognomonic findings of anaphylactic shock in forensic medicine. Methods Animal model of anaphylactic shock was developed in guinea pigs. Substance P level in plasma was determined radioimmunoassay, and detected in laryngopharyneal tissue and the lungs by immunohistochemical SABC method followed by image analysis using BI - 2000 image analyzing system. Positive index (PI) was calculated. Results There was a statistically significant difference for substance P concentration in plasma between the guinea pigs with anaphylactic shock (131.01? 18.93pg/?l)and the control animals (87.70 ?7. 60pg/?l) (P
