A wide variety of pulmonary disorders can arise as side-effects of drugs presribed for non-respiratory disorders, or to which the body has been accidentally exposed. This is the definitive reference book to drug-induced and iatrogenic lung disease—international in approach, with a highly respected author team. As well as pulmonary disorders arising from adverse effects of drugs prescribed for non-respiratory disorders, areas considered include adverse effects arising from drugs and other substances to which the body has accidentally been exposed, and adverse effects arising from intentional drug abuse.
