Some epidemiological, morphological and toxicological aspects from a continuous prospective study of drug-related fatalities in Hamburg are described.
The lethal risk for intravenous drug addicts (IVDA) has increased (1990: n=136 drug-related fatalities in Hamburg; 1991: n=184).
Infectious diseases are common.
From the epidemiological point of view the HIV-1 prevalence is decreasing; hepatitis C turned out to be a serious medical problem for IVDA.
The fatal course of the addiction is mostly caused by heroin overdosage (sometimes in combination with ethylalcohol, benzodiazepines and barbiturates); about 40% of the fatalities were alcoholized (20% with a blood alcohol concentration of more than 1%).
