Abstract

We report a case of venocclusive (VOD) disease secondary to inhalation of an insecticide. Pathological features of liver injury are illustrated with regard to patchy lesions shown by a new computer assisted colorimetric method. A possible role of immuno-complexes in the development of endothelium damage to centro-lobular veins is discussed.
