Abstrait
La toxicomanie injectable est un fléau mondial à l’origine de nombreuses complications médicales, chirurgicales, psychiatriques et sociales 1. Ces complications dépendent principalement des drogues utilisées et de l’ancienneté de la toxicomanie. Les overdoses et les transmissions d’agents infectieux par voie sanguine comme le VIH et les hépatites virales sont les mieux connues. Parmi les autres complications occasionnées par ces pratiques, les atteintes cutanées figurent en première place. Ainsi, tous les toxicomanes ont présenté ou présenteront des complications dermatologiques.
