title: [Drug intoxications as an indicator of social tensions and social ill-being].
abstract: Taken together statistical data illustrating the frequency of acute iatrogenic intoxication and parameters of economic development of the country testify to the importance of the problem of drug abuse confirmed by calculation of Piearson's correlation coefficients. The analysis of the rating list of pharmaceutical products known to most frequently cause intoxication indicates that a group of potentially dangerous' preparations include not only prescription drugs, such as neuroleptics, antidepressants, and soporifics, but also over-the-counter medicines. The results of the present study give evidence of the appearance of a separate nosological form in this country referred to as iatrogenic diseases. Moreover, they give reason to regard iatrogenic intoxication as a risk factor of social tensions and ill-being.
