Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The authors describe a rare case of diffused thrombosis of the superficial veins in the whole body and periphlebitis with perivascular abscesses in an human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected drug abuser who was using neck veins to inject cocaine and heroin. In addition the patient presented oral candidiasis, hepatitis C virus infection, bronchopneumonitis, and endocarditis of the tricuspid valve with valvular failure. The conditions of the patient needed repeated vascular catheterizations for therapy administration. Similar pathologies, in HIV-infected patients, highly increase the risk of opportunistic infections, especially in the encephalic territory; in addition the need for vascular catheterizations represents a further risk factor for bacterial infections. |
