[Asthma and heroin use].

CONCLUSION: Heroin use may be responsible for asthma onset, acute asthma exacerbations (which may require intubation and invasive ventilation) or deaths related to asthma. Heroin use must be sought in case of asthma exacerbation in young persons and practitioners must help heroin users to stop their consumption. PMID: 28734637 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
