摘要

在印度,蛇咬伤造成了巨大的公共卫生负担,占全球蛇咬伤死亡人数的 80%。本系列病例探讨了两起疑似神经毒性蛇咬伤死亡事件的复杂性,通过细致的法医尸检深入探讨了印度神经毒性蛇咬伤死亡诊断的复杂性。尽管最初的怀疑和间接证据表明与蛇咬伤有关,但尸检结果却揭示了令人惊讶的死因。文章讨论了将死亡准确归因于蛇咬伤的挑战和虚假索赔的可能性,并强调了法医病理学家在揭开谜团方面的关键作用。文章敦促法医病理学家保持不偏不倚的态度,在有人蓄意误导的情况下,让验尸结果为结论提供指导。所描述的病例突出表明,在有阳性病史的病例中排除蛇咬伤与神经毒性蛇咬伤一样具有挑战性,因为它们主要是尸检中的排除诊断。

Unravelling the enigma: Autopsy challenges in alleged snakebite deaths

Snakebites account for a substantial public health burden in India, contributing to 80 % of global snakebite fatalities. This case series explores the intricacies of two alleged neurotoxic snakebite deaths, delving into the complexities of diagnosing neurotoxic snakebite deaths in India through meticulous medico-legal autopsies. Despite initial suspicions and circumstantial evidence suggesting snakebite involvement, the autopsies revealed surprising causes of death. The article discusses challenges in accurately attributing deaths to snakebites, and the potential for false claims, and underscores the crucial role of Forensic pathologists in dispelling enigmas. Forensic pathologists are urged to maintain an unbiased approach, allowing postmortem findings to guide conclusions amidst deliberate attempts to mislead. The cases described highlight that ruling out snake bites in cases with positive history is as challenging as opining a case of neurotoxic snake bite as they are mainly the diagnosis of exclusion in autopsy.
