Abstract
Based on the literature data and our own observations, the features of the lung damage in patients with drug dependence have been studied. It was found out that the pulmonary manifestations of drug addiction are secondary, depend on the type of drug used and ways of drug administration. In most cases, pneumonia develops, characterized by an aggressive course, often complicated by the formation of destructive cavities, suppuration and empyema of the pleura, respiratory failure. Pneumonia is often a manifestation of sepsis (in most cases, injecting drug users) and is accompanied by other syndromes: bacterial endocarditis, renal, hepatic insufficiency, and other manifestations of multiple organ pathology. Interstitial pneumonia can develop with the development of pneumofibrosis, bullous pulmonary degeneration, granulomatous inflammation, pulmonary edema. In a number of cases (more often with inhalational drug use) toxic alveolitis may develop. The defeat of the lungs can be irreversible and lead to death. Three clinical observations from the personal practice of the authors are presented.Keywords
