Impact of methamphetamine on infection and immunity
Open accessAbstract
The prevalence of methamphetamine (METH) use is estimated at ~35 million people worldwide, with over 10 million users in the United States. METH use elicits a myriad of social consequences and the behavioral impact of the drug is well understood. However, new information has recently emerged detailing the devastating effects of METH on host immunity, increasing the acquisition of diverse pathogens and exacerbating the severity of disease. These outcomes manifest as modifications in protective physical and chemical defenses, pro-inflammatory responses, and the induction of oxidative stress pathways. Through these processes, significant neurotoxicities arise, and, as such, chronic abusers with these conditions are at a higher risk for heightened consequences. METH use also influences the adaptive immune response, permitting the unrestrained development of opportunistic diseases. In this review, we discuss recent literature addressing the impact of METH on infection and immunity, and identify areas ripe for future investigation.

Regular methamphetamine use is associated with various harms and symptoms including psychosis, mood swings, insomnia, skin lesions, depression, malnutrition, respiratory illness, gum disease, severe tooth decay, risky behaviours, and endocarditis.
“Regular methamphetamine use is associated with various harms and symptoms including psychosis, mood swings, insomnia, skin lesions, depression, malnutrition, respiratory illness, gum disease and severe tooth decay, risky behaviours (e.g., criminal behaviours, injection of other illicit substances, sexual practices that increase risk of sexually transmitted infections), and endocarditis [1, 7–18].”
From Psychosocial and pharmacologic interventions for problematic methamphetamine use: Findings from a scoping review of the literature (2023) · cites this paper as [8]
The sections on physical and chemical barriers and MRSA describe skin lesions, severe tooth decay, and a possible increased risk of infective endocarditis when methamphetamine is injected; the section on infectious diseases describes unsafe sexual practices. Our copy does not substantiate the listed psychosis, mood swings, insomnia, depression, malnutrition, or criminal behaviour. Its discussion of respiratory infection relies chiefly on experimental infection models, rather than establishing respiratory illness as a symptom in regular users (page numbers unavailable).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
