Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Iatrogenic Disease:

1.	Chloroquine (Aralen)FDA LinkGeneric 06/01/1978 - "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." 05/01/1965 - "[Chloroquine retinopathy: a serious iatrogenic disease]." 02/01/2007 - "Retinal toxicity due to chloroquine is an uncommon iatrogenic disease. "
2.	Estrogens (Estrogen)FDA Link 03/01/1977 - "Although this iatrogenic disease should be virtually eliminated with the monitoring of daily urinary estrogens, severe hyperstimulation may still occur as a result of laboratory error." 01/01/1991 - "Successively evidence of iatrogenic disease due to estrogens has accumulated but total consensus has not yet been reached. "
3.	AminorexIBA 01/01/1982 - "This study is concerned with a group of 31 female patients who suffered from a terminal vascular disease (primary vascular pulmonary hypertension)--an iatrogenic disease which with high probability is the consequence of a drug for weight reducing (Menocil), prescribed by their family doctors to these moderate overweight middle aged women. "
4.	HormonesIBA 03/01/1967 - "[Iatrogenic disease caused by the use of hormones in pediatrics]." 09/01/1966 - "[Iatrogenic diseases in hormone therapy]." 07/01/1964 - "[ADRENOCORTICOSTEROID HORMONES AND IATROGENIC DISEASE]." 10/01/2002 - "Tertiary prevention of thyroid disease would involve avoiding iatrogenic disease, such as thyroid hormone overdose. " 03/01/1967 - "[Iatrogenic diseases due to hormone preparations--steroids, weight-reducing drugs and oral contraceptives]."
5.	Contrast MediaIBA 10/01/2007 - "Radiological procedures requiring intravascular administration of iodinated contrast media are becoming a common source of an iatrogenic disease known as contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). " 01/01/2007 - "Radiological procedures require the intravascular administration of iodinated contrast media, which are becoming a great source of an iatrogenic disease known as contrast-induced nephropathy. " 12/01/2014 - "Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a severe iatrogenic disease that affect patients with impaired renal function exposed to gadolinium-based contrast agents. " 05/01/2008 - "In conclusion, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a serious iatrogenic disease of patients with renal insufficiency caused by some Gd-containing contrast agents, in particular gadodiamide. "
6.	Anti-Bacterial Agents (Antibiotics)IBA 04/01/1969 - "[Antibiotics and iatrogenic diseases]." 07/01/1958 - "Antibiotics and iatrogenic disease." 09/01/1966 - "[Iatrogenic diseases in chemotherapy with special reference to antibiotics]."
7.	Human Growth Hormone (Saizen)FDA LinkGeneric 07/01/1986 - "This case establishes the contamination of at least two American lots of human growth hormone and, together with other cases of iatrogenic disease, suggests that virus enters the brain from the blood, rather than along neural pathways." 08/08/2006 - "The outbreaks of iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) from cadaveric human growth hormone and dura mater are winding down and, like the only other environmentally acquired form of CJD (variant CJD due to infection with the agent of bovine spongiform encephalopathy), iatrogenic disease seems to have reached its high water mark during the 1990s. "
8.	Vitamin DFDA LinkGeneric 03/01/2012 - "Moreover, current evidence supports the conclusion that protection from UV radiation does not compromise vitamin D status or lead to iatrogenic disease. " 11/01/2011 - "Current evidence supports the conclusion that protection from UV radiation reduces the incidence of skin cancers and photodamage, but generally does not compromise vitamin D status or lead to iatrogenic disease. "
9.	SteroidsIBA 07/12/1975 - "Thus, chronic treatment with steroids is invariably associated with side effects, but there are a number of therapeutic rules whose strict observance may prevent a patient in chronic need of steroid treatment from developing a second, iatrogenic disease. " 03/01/1967 - "[Iatrogenic diseases due to hormone preparations--steroids, weight-reducing drugs and oral contraceptives]."
10.	Retinaldehyde (Retinal)IBA 08/01/1989 - "These data suggest that proliferative vitreoretinopathy is not simply an iatrogenic disease, but it is more likely to occur in association with certain detachment features that either by themselves or through their management require prolongation of the retinal wound healing process." 02/01/2007 - "Retinal toxicity due to chloroquine is an uncommon iatrogenic disease. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Drug Therapy (Chemotherapy) 04/01/1972 - " iatrogenic disease due to drug therapy is to be recognized or prevented the communication of information about drugs must be improved." 01/01/1988 - "The analysis suggested high frequency rate for iatrogenic diseases promoted by surgical interventions and chemotherapy. " 02/01/1968 - "[Problem of current drug therapy and iatrogenic diseases]." 01/01/1968 - "With special reference to iatrogenic diseases caused by drug therapy]." 09/01/1966 - "[Iatrogenic diseases in chemotherapy with special reference to antibiotics]."
2.	Surgical Instruments (Clip) 01/01/2004 - "The widespread distribution of infectivity in lymphoid tissues in vCJD has lead to concerns over the possibility of iatrogenic disease transmission by contaminate surgical instruments, or by blood transfusion. " 06/01/2012 - "No new sources of disease have been identified, and current practices, which combine improved recognition of potentially infected persons with new disinfection methods for fragile surgical instruments and biological products, should continue to minimize the risk for iatrogenic disease until a blood screening test for the detection of preclinical infection is validated for human use." 10/15/1991 - "Searches of MEDLINE for articles published from 1980 to 1990 on disinfection, sterilization, cross infection, surgical instruments and iatrogenic disease, bibliographies, standard texts and reference material located in a central processing department. "
3.	Medication Errors (Medication Error) 12/01/2007 - "Iatrogenic disease management: moderating medication errors and risks in a pharmacy benefit management environment." 12/01/2000 - "In the past 10 years, medication errors have come to be recognised as an important cause of iatrogenic disease in hospital patients. " 04/01/2014 - "Key words used were: medication error, adverse drug reaction, iatrogenic disease factors, ambulatory care, primary health care, side effects and treatment hazards. " 09/01/2007 - "Key words included medication error, adverse drug reaction, iatrogenic disease, outpatient, ambulatory care, primary health care, general practice, patient admission, hospitalization, observational study, retrospective studies, health services research, and follow-up studies.
