Abstract: | The incidence of infectious endocarditis (IE) among injecting drug addicts (IDAs) is 5-10% per year, which is significantly higher than the incidence rate in the general population. It was found that in 75-80% of cases IE develops on the right side in IDAs, in comparison with 9% in nonaddicts, and in 40-70% of cases the tricuspid valve is affected. The course of the disease has atypical manifestations, so untimely diagnosis and treatment of IE often leads to the development of multi-organ failure. Young age of patients and high lethality (40-60%) make the problem of IE in addicts not only medical, but also social. Aim: to study the features of the clinical course, diagnosis and treatment of IE in a patient with intravenous drug use. |
