Presumed Ocular Candidiasis in Drug Misusers After Intravenous Use of Oral High Dose Buprenorphine (Subutex)

August 2002 in “ British Journal of Ophthalmology ”

Nathalie Cassoux

TLDR Drug misuse can cause serious eye infections and other severe side effects.

The document discussed various side effects of drug misuse, including kidney toxicity, uveitis, macular oedema, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, fever, hair loss, and muscle pain. It noted that topical or intralesional administration of cidofovir had not shown systemic toxicity. Surgical excision was highlighted as the best treatment for SCC due to its curative potential and ability to allow histopathological evaluation of margins. The document also suggested that the successful outcome with intralesional cidofovir in a specific case might be worth considering.
