Abstract
A case of Candida albicans endocarditis is described which developed in a heroin addict with aortic valvulopathy after an episode of cutaneous and chondrocostal candidiasis related to the use of "brown" heroin. To our knowledge this is the first case reported in the English literature. This complication should be suspected in all heroin addicts with this new syndrome, especially if valvulopathy is present.Entities:
