Abstract
SUMMARY
A case of bacterial endocarditis with septic pulmonary embolism in a heroin addict, from whom four different bacterial species were isolated, is reported. Apparent bacteriological cure was achieved after 5 mth of intensive therapy. It seems that successful treatment was not achieved until an underlying infection with Bacteroides fragilis was detected and antibiotic therapy was adjusted accordingly.
