Dear all,
We currently receiving samples on patient that have been treated for ? cyanide posing due to smoke inhalation.
The treatment -Hydroxocobalamin results in very Pink/Purple samples.
I have done a literature search on the effect this has on assays- but wondered if any Labs have any first-hand experience on reporting result on this samples- or have done any formal studies.
Thanks
Alex
