Neurological complications of heroin addiction have occurred only sporadically in the United Kingdom. We report the case of a young female patient who developed an acute polyradiculoneuropathy when she recommended intravenous heroin after four years abstinence. Another possible aetiological factor was a preceding flu-like illness but, after full investigations, we concluded that heroin abuse was the most likely cause of the neurological symptoms.
海洛因成瘾的神经系统并发症在英国仅偶尔发生。我们报告了一例年轻女性患者的病例,该患者在戒毒四年后再次使用静脉注射海洛因时出现了急性多发性神经根神经病。另一个可能的病因是之前类似流感的疾病,但经过全面检查后,我们得出结论,海洛因滥用是神经系统症状最可能的原因。
