“…The mean sulfide concentration in blood of the eight cases was 0.344 AE 0.377 mmol/ml (mean AE SD), which was significantly higher than that of the remaining six cases, 0.019 AE 0.025 mmol/ml (p < 0.05, t-test). On the other hand, both blood and urine samples could be obtained in 10 cases (Cases 2-7, [13][14][15]17). Although the detection of thiosulfate in the urine of fatal cases is difficult, four cases (Cases 5, 13, 15, 17) showed higher thiosulfate concentrations in urine than in blood.…”

“…Although many cases of fatal hydrogen sulfide poisoning have been reported , in most of these cases, it resulted from accidents in sewer systems, excrement disposal institutions, chemical factories, volcanoes and hot-spring areas [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. To our knowledge, there are few reports of fatal poisoning due to the inhalation of hydrogen sulfide gas that was intentionally generated [13,14].…”

“…Le parenchyme pulmonaire concentre en effet les toxiques volatiles absorbés par voie respiratoire, et représente donc un prélèvement alternatif de choix lorsque le prélèvement sanguin est négatif. La littérature mentionne d'ailleurs le fait que l'H 2 S est nettement plus stable dans le poumon et le foie que dans le sang [16,17]. Notons enfin que les prélèvements de tissu pulmonaire ont été effectués dans des flacons de type « espace de tête », ce qui constitue une garantie supplémentaire de la qualité du prélèvement et devrait être fait systématiquement devant toute suspicion d'intoxication par un produit volatile.…”

“…The blood thiosulphate was not analysed in these cases. In fatal industrial exposures published values of thiosulphate in blood range from 2.8 to 26 mg/L [6,7].…”
