Abstract
Significant lung abnormalities differentiated cases of fatal narcotism from fatal bronchial asthma, drug-anaphylaxis, and nonnarcotic drug overdose. Acute inflammatory response was apparent in overdose cases, but in the absence of vasculitis, an Arthus-fike reaction seemed unlikely. Anaphylactic-like response in overdose cases also appeared unlikely.Keywords
