Abstract
Comparing the number of drug related deaths - DRD - reported officially in Romania to the one forwarded by the rest of the European countries (of course, keeping the proportions related to population and drug use incidence) - based on a range of several dozens cases, for countries with a small population, up to a couple of hundreds, in the case of bigger states - the national and international organizations have permanently shown a reluctance with regard to under-reporting casuistry. Forensic Medicine, as primary link in identifying these cases, has the benefit of plurivalence in reporting, offering the possibility both of collecting statistical data, and of passing anatomo-pathological, medical, criminal, criminological conclusions. For this reason, important measures were taken for creating medico-legal management algorithms for DRD-susceptible cases, which materialized in reports assessed by the European fora as being a real progress. We will present in this material the data of a study which practically covered the entire medico-legal casuistry reported by Romania at the EMCDDA European Center between 2001 and 2007.
