Abstract

This is a case of poisoning with lambda-cyhalothrin, a synthetic pyrethroid, in a family of three (2 deaths). A postmortem examination revealed biochemical and micromorphological markers of lambda-cyhalothrin poisoning. In addition, an experimental model using laboratory animals (rats) was created to confirm the possibility of developing these lesions during the course of synthetic pyrethroid poisoning. Indeed, not only a similar clinical picture but also the same laboratory results were obtained.
