In 1994, 579 new cases of drug :llld alcohol,dwclion were reported in Saudi Arabia, which represelllcd I. I',f all the new psychiatric cascS. There was a 30% increase in the,lUmber. of drug ulera compared with the 1993 statistics.'Cenainly, the magnitude of the problem haa already been noticedin other countries.1-4 In the United States, the state of Michigan1I0ne, for example, had an estimated 50000 imravcnous heroinlIsen in 1988.'Modern addicts arc quite sophisticated with regard to intravenousaccess aites. However, tltis is not the case in developingcountriea where they prepare and inject these substances in a printitiveway. In Saudi Arabia, heroin addicts dissolve approximately 1gof heroin in 100 mL tap water, boil the ntixture, filter it, then injectthemselves in any accessible vessel. Some heroin addicts requiremore than 10 g/day. This repeated septic vascular access results inserious life and limb-threatening complications. The adverse socioeconomicconsequences of this self-abuse arc not only reflected onthe addicts themselves, but also extend to involve each member oftheir families, particularly when the addict loses one of their limbs.In this article, the firSt series of patients with vascular complicationsof drug abuse in Saudi Arabia is reponed.
