    Abstract

    Numerous surgical complications arise from parenteral drug use. Some complications have severe sequelae and most prove to be a diagnostic challenge. It is likely that these problems will remain a significant burden on the health care system as a result of continued widespread drug abuse. EPs must always maintain vigilance when evaluating medical complaints in the IVDU.
