The clinical picture of endocarditis in addicts is characterized by mainly right-sided localization of the process in the heart, poor auscultatory picture of the heart, pleuro-pulmonary manifestations against the background of a feverish course of the disease. The leading role in diagnosis of infectious endocarditis in addicts should be given to echocardiography. A description of three cases of surgical treatment of infectious endocarditis in addicts is presented.
