Abstract
We hypothesize that crack cocaine is independently associated with smear-positive tuberculosis (TB). In a case-control study of TB in London, 19 (86%) of 22 crack cocaine users with pulmonary TB were smear positive compared with 302 (36%) of 833 non-drug users. Respiratory damage caused by crack cocaine may predispose drug users to infectivity.
摘要
我们推测，强效纯可卡因与涂片阳性肺结核独立相关。在伦敦一项关于肺结核的病例对照研究中，22名患有肺结核的强效纯可卡因使用者中有19名（86%）涂片呈阳性，而833名非吸毒者中有302名（36%）涂片呈阳性。强效纯可卡因造成的呼吸道损伤可能使吸毒者更易具有传染性。
