The Opioid Epidemic offers timely guidance on the junction of the opioid crisis and infectious diseases, providing concise yet comprehensive coverage of a growing patient population. Infectious disease specialists are increasingly seeing patients who previously used opioids and now use intravenous drugs. Many challenges are unique to this patient population, including new and growing infections such as hepatitis C, endocarditis, HIV, and hepatitis B. This text is an up-to-date, real-world guide that covers the scope of the problem, including management guidelines.
