iatrogenic disease  

Definición

  • Iatrogenic disease commonly refers to a physician-induced disease and more generally to a disease state caused by the commission of acts by the physician rather than the omission of needed treatment. The word iatrogenic comes from the root iatro, the Greek word for physician, or more generally a healer, and the word genic, meaning to come from or be created by.
