[Rheumatic heart disease and infective endocarditis in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome].
A 36-old-woman was admitted with an infectious syndrome, respiratory insufficiency and vasculitis. There was a history of chronic intravenous drug abuse, sexual promiscuity and rheumatic heart disease. She had HIV positive tests. The vasculitis and heart failure worsened and the patient died of stroke. At autopsy it was found histologic evidence of AIDS, rheumatic heart disease with Aschoff nodes, infective endocarditis with cerebral abscesses and thalamic infarction.
