The dramatic increase in the number of heroin addicts has led to an increase in the number of infective complications seen, especially those due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans.

The clinical picture, diagnostic techniques, and surgical therapy receive comment, and a brief review of the literature is given.
