Disease linked to drugs in young meth users
Los Angeles medical researchers warn a fatal arterial disease, necrotizing angiitis, linked to heavy methamphetamine use will cause long term care for many young patients. In a New England Journal of Medicine report they described 14 young drug users with the disease and four deaths, noting heroin or barbiturate use alone did not trigger it. The team projects 10 to 30 percent death in a broader group and calls for shifting from acute to long term care and funding.
