Abstract

Illicit drug abuse is a common differential diagnosis of acquired central nervous system vasculitis even though there are only a handful of histopathologically-confirmed patients in the literature from among the many potential classes of abused drugs traditionally implicated in this disease. This chapter considers the major classes of illicit drugs in those with and without human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
