Abstract
Infectious endocarditis (IE) in HIV-infected users of injecting drug is manifested by a predominant lesion of the tricuspid valve (TV), and the causative agent of the disease is Staphylococcus aureus. A feature of the course of IE TV in this category of patients are multiple septic embolisms in the small circulatory circle, the source of which may be floating vegetation and the predominance of pulmonary symptoms over cardiac.
