Abstract

Studies have been coming out focusing on the biological markers of suicide. Here, we present two cases with raised C-reactive protein who were admitted after attempts of suicide by overdose. There is a need to study the neuro-immuno-endocrinal changes in suicide systematically that will give insight into the biological underpinning.

Keywords: Poisoning; biomarkers; overdose; raised C-reactive protein; suicide in Bangladesh.
