Je prezentován případ smrtelné otravy paroxetinem, flunitrazepamem a etanolem v terénu hnilobných změn. Kvantitativní toxikologická analýza vykázala, že koncentrace paroxetinu a 7-aminoflunitrazepamu ( metabolitu flunitrazepamu) ve vzorku femorální krve byla 0,28 µg/ml a 0.17 µg/ml. Také byla zjištěna hladina alkoholu 2,90 mg/ml a n-propanolu 0,10 mg/ml. Usuzujeme proto, že smrt nastala v důsledku vzájemné interakce paroxetinu, flunitrazepamu a etanolu. Bylo též uvažováno o vlivu hnilobných změn na forensní toxikologické vyhodnocení.

Klíčová slova:
flunitrazepam – etanol – paroxetine – plynová chromatografie s hmotnostní spektrometrií (GC/MS).
