Abstract

The aim of the study was to identify the features of the clinical course and morphogenesis of infective endocarditis (IE) in HIVinfected injecting drug users with concomitant hepatitis C virus infection in comparison with the clinical and morphological picture of endocarditis in persons without drug dependence. It was found that the causative agent of IE in HIV-infected patients was staphylococcus aureus (71.8%), and in persons without drug dependence in the etiology of the disease the conditionally pathogenic flora prevailed. In HIV-infected drug-dependent patients, the tricuspid valve was affected (82.7%), and in persons without drug dependence — isolated aortic valve damage (40%) and combined mitral and aorticvalve lesions (36.4%). Purulent sepsis complications in drug-dependent patients with IE are less common than in patients without drug dependence due to immunosuppression, which is present in HIV-infected persons.
