Editorial Reviews

Drawn from a June 1992 international conference in Clearwater Beach, Florida, 39 papers report the latest findings and thought concerning the impact of psychotropic drugs on the immune system. Researchers are convinced that the use of recreational drugs must reduce the body's natural immunity; they have not been able to turn up any clinical or experimental evidence regarding acute infections, but a little regarding chronic diseases. They also consider the impact of stress. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
