The family's mother, along with the stove, while cyanotic and having pulse and also found 3 canned fish near her .The father was found next to the toil while he was confused. The 15-year-old daughter was found along with her moth without pulse. The family girl autopsy have shown carboxy- hemoglobin level 50. Accidental poisoning with carbon monoxide has been reported in several articles. Due to the variable symptoms lead to misdiagnosis in 1/3 cases. The diagnosis is made by carboxy- hemoglobin measurement, in non- smoker patients level of carboxy- hemoglobin level of 2-3% and greater than 9% in smoker patients.
