Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Il est difficile d'obtenir des informations précises sur la prévalence des effets des drogues illicites, qui peuvent toutes engendrer un certain nombre de pathologies pulmonaires, directement ou en raison des impuretés qu'elles contiennent. Les études épidémiologiques à long terme sont également difficiles. Toutefois, une drogue comme le cannabis a plus d'effets sur l'appareil respiratoire que le tabac.
ENGLISH:
Drug abuse refers to the non-medical "recreational" use of drugs, some of which results in physical or psychological dependence. Alcohol and nicotine are available legally and represent by far the most common form of drug abuse. The adverse effects on health and, more specifically, the respiratory consequences of cigarette smoking are widely recognised and represent a major burden on any health care system. Illicit use of drugs is widespread in some sections of society. The major health problems are largely the consequence of transmitted infection, especially HIV and hepatitis, which occurs in intravenous drug abusers who share needles. Here the AIDS-related respiratory consequences are widely known and include opportunistic infections, tuberculosis, and Kaposi's sarcoma. [Extract]
