The famous Lafarge affair which took place in Tulle (Corrèze, France) in 1840, has never ceased to interest the general public because some doubts have remained even after the pronunciation of the judgment. Another hypothesis than arsenicum poisoning has been formulated in 1980 by Professor P. Lepine who believes in a paratyphoid fever occuring after food poisoning. This assumption and the discovery of exceptional family documents in 2004 by Edouard de Lamaze, a distant cousin of Emma Pontier, the confidante of Marie Lafarge, sheds a new light on this mysterious affair.
1840年发生在法国科雷兹省蒂勒市的著名拉法热事件，一直以来都备受公众关注，因为即便在判决宣布之后，仍存在一些疑问。1980年，P. 勒皮纳教授提出了一种不同于砷中毒的假说，他认为这是食物中毒后引发的副伤寒热。2004年，玛丽·拉法热的密友艾玛·庞捷的远房表亲爱德华·德·拉马兹发现了一些特殊的家族文件，这一假说以及这些文件的发现为这起神秘事件带来了新的线索。
