Abstract
The case of a young female patient who developed an acute polyradiculoneuropathy after resuming i.v. injection of heroin after 4 yr abstinence was discussed. Another possible etiological factor was a preceding flu-like illness. Heroin abuse was the most likely cause of the neurological symptoms.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
