Drug-Induced and Iatrogenic Respiratory Disease

Description

Written by a strong international team of experts, this unique reference provides the definitive account of drug-induced and iatrogenic lung disease. A wide variety of pulmonary disorders can arise as side-effects to drugs prescribed for non-respiratory disorders, or to which the body has been accidentally exposed; this books fully explores these issues as well as adverse effects arising from other substances to which the body has accidentally been exposed, and adverse effects arising from intentional drug abuse.
