We describe a case of Salmonella tricuspid endocarditis in an intravenous drug abuser with human immunodeficiency virus infection. He was successfully treated with antibiotics with no clinical relapse. To our knowledge, this is the first case of this kind reported in the literature. Physicians should be on the alert for this potentially curable cardiac complication of human immunodeficiency virus infection.
