Eroin inhalasyonu akciğerlerde bronkospazm, astım atağı ve akut eozinofilik pnömoniye neden olabilir. Klinik olarak hafif bir tablodan mekanik ventilasyon gerektirecek kadar ağır bir tabloya yol açabilir. Bu yazıda eroin inhalasyonu sonrası astım atağı tablosuyla başvuran iki olgu sunulacak ve literatür gözden geçirilecektir

Two Cases Living In The Same Home And Applied With Asthma Exacerbation: The Reason Is Heroin Inhalation
