On the role and perspectives of diagnostic improvement of infectious diseases in forensic medical practice

Abstract

Postmortem verification of an infectious disease in forensic medical practice is crucial in solving several problems faced by both the doctor conducting the examination and healthcare system, from the regional to the international level. This review presents an analysis of scientific studies on the possibilities of postmortem diagnosis of infectious diseases. Foreign and domestic experience of forensic doctors in conditions of the threat and spread of highly contagious diseases and emerging infections is shown, as well as an overview of approaches to organizing safe working environment in the forensic medical examination bureau.
