Abstract: Opiate use in humans is associated with a reduction in the number of circulating T-lymphocytes and in their ability to undergo transformation, probably resulting from opiate binding to T-cell antigens. (See Table 4). Patients also manifest a diffuse hyperglobulinemia, without change in circulating B-cell numbers. In v ...

Abstract: Initial epidemiologic studies indicated that the use of inhalant drugs, such as amyl nitrite, isobutyl nitrite (IBN), and butyl nitrite, may be a risk factor for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (1,2).
