The following indices were measured, among others: haemoglobin content (HGB), red blood cell counts (RBC), white blood cell counts (WBC), haematocrit (HCT),mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean cupuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), differential white cell counts (DWC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), etc. The resulting intoxication was accompanied by altered clinical status, some of which were hyperthermia, tachycardia, polypnoea withdyspnoea, etc. There were also changes in clinical chemistry indices. The observed clinical signs, the changes in haematological and biochemical indices in blood, morphological alterations and the applied therapy could be used in the diagnosis, differntial diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum) intoxication.
