Disease relevance of Iatrogenic Disease

• Parenteral nutrition with associated cholelithiasis: another iatrogenic disease of infants and children [1].
• Beta irradiation with strontium 90 has been associated with significant iatrogenic disease, causing such complications as ptosis, symblepharon, iridic and scleral atrophy, cataracts, and endophthalmitis [2].

High impact information on Iatrogenic Disease

• However, since the clinical and histologic features of hepatic injury from methyldopa are indistinguishable from viral hepatitis, it is suggested that the incidence of this iatrogenic disease is higher than generally appreciated [3].
• Tertiary prevention of thyroid disease would involve avoiding iatrogenic disease, such as thyroid hormone overdose [4].
• Aluminum intoxication is an iatrogenic disease caused by the use of aluminum compounds for phosphate binding and by the contamination of parenteral fluids [5].
• This selective use of subtotal thyroidectomy would avoid the complications of total thyroidectomy, namely, bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve trauma and hypoparathyroidism, the latter being a particularly troublesome iatrogenic disease [6].
• Niflumic acid-induced skeletal fluorosis: iatrogenic disease or therapeutic perspective for osteoporosis [7]?

Chemical compound and disease context of Iatrogenic Disease

• Cholesterol embolization syndrome: how to recognize and prevent this potentially catastrophic iatrogenic disease [8].
• To our knowledge very delayed onset of chloroquine retinopathy is a relatively rare phenomenon but the medical and ophthalmic communities must be alerted to the possibly severe complications of this iatrogenic disease entity [9].

Gene context of Iatrogenic Disease

• The negative results obtained in all the tests carried out to ascertain any dysmetabolic, nutritional or iatrogenic disease, and the literature reporting homozygotic patients with osteometabolic and skeletal changes similar to those observed in this particular patient, led the authors to suggest a possible pathogenetic role in ADA deficiency [10].
