由于阿片类药物的流行助长了传染病的激增，如人类免疫缺陷病毒感染（伴或不伴艾滋病）、病毒性肝炎、感染性心内膜炎以及皮肤和软组织感染，一场趋同的公共卫生危机正在出现。需要制定一项综合战略，以针对滥用和/或阿片类药物成瘾的人的传染病采取预防和治疗方法，并同时解决感染-阿片类药物使用障碍的潜在诱发因素。这篇评论强调了传染病和物质使用障碍社区在解决这一双重公共卫生问题的危机中可以发挥的独特和互补的作用。传染病和物质使用障碍社区在解决阿片类药物使用障碍和传染病的共同公共卫生危机中发挥着重要的、重叠的、最佳的协同作用。
A converging public health crisis is emerging because the opioid epidemic is fueling a surge in infectious diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus infection with or without AIDS, the viral hepatitides, infective endocarditis, and skin and soft-tissue infections. An integrated strategy is needed to tailor preventive and therapeutic approaches toward infectious diseases in people who misuse and/or are addicted to opioids and to concurrently address the underlying predisposing factor for the infections-opioid use disorder. This commentary highlights the unique and complementary roles that the infectious diseases and substance use disorder communities can play in addressing this crisis of dual public health concerns.The infectious diseases and substance use disorder communities have important, overlapping, and, optimally, synergistic roles in addressing the converging public health crisis of opioiduse disorder and infectious diseases.
