Abstract:
Illicit drug use is frequently complicated by sinopulmonary illnesses. These complications fall into two major categories: (1) direct effects of drug exposure, and (2) indirect effects caused by HIV-induced immunosuppression. This article reviews the more common sinopulmonary syndromes associated with illicit drug use.
