Je prezentován případ smrtelné otravy mladé ženy butanem. Kvantitativní toxikologickou analýzou byla stanovena koncentrace butanu 6,8 μl/ml v krvi z femorální žíly, dále byl detekován také isobutan a propan. Byl pozorován výrazný edém plicní a depozita lipofuscinu v myokardu. Stanovili jsme, že příčinou smrti oběti byla srdeční arytmie způsobená abúzem butanu.

Klíčová slova:
butan – srdeční toxicita – otrava
