Histiocytosis in people who inject drugs
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at a condition called PVP-histiocytosis, which can happen in people who inject drugs made from tablets containing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The goal is to study these cases to better understand the condition.
