Abstract

Introduction: Drug abuse remains a significant social problem in many countries. Adverse pulmonary complications of substance abuse are well documented, including diffuse alveolar haemorrhage, aspiration pneumonitis, and opportunistic infections related to HIV and hepatitis. Acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome are well known complications of narcotic overdose, but ARDS from drug use without overdose is a much rarer entity.
