Abstract:

Pathomorphological changes in internal organs due to the toxic effects of the black mamba venom are nonspecific in nature and presume its neurotoxic and cardiotoxic effects with the development of the DIC syndrome, pulmonary edema, and brain edema in the terminal period. In forensic medicine, the development of specific diagnostic criteria, as well as an algorithm for detecting toxins of the black mamba venom in biological fluids and tissues of internal organs can become a promising topic for scientific research.
