Abstract
A patient is presented who developed angiitis associated with intravenous usage of amphetamine. Her disease exacerbated after further amphetamine usage and progressed, over a two-year period, to terminal renal failure. Various etiologic possibilities are discussed, and it is suggested that amphetamine-induced angiitis is a distinct clinical entity that is potentially lethal.Keywords
