My sister has a high fever and shortness of breath and should be treated in hospital. I suspect he was hit by pneumonia, but it turns out according to doctors who treated him suffer a heart infection.
I wondered why my brother who was only 21 years has been heart disease. Throughout my knowledge, heart disease strikes people who are elderly.
My sister was a drug user. He began using drugs since age 13 years. Start by using a tablet, sniffs, and since school started injecting so have a great dependency. As a result he was unable to continue school. He then underwent rehabilitation and successfully stopped using drugs at the age of 18.
In three years he helped trade and apparently healthy father until he was hospitalized. Care in the hospital nearly a month. Father must pay no less for the treatment and care.
To our surprise, my brother suffered heart valve damage and possibly have surgery. We all feel sorry for heart valve surgery is certainly a risky operation, let alone the cost of operation was very costly for us.
Now my sister is at home. He was able to walk to the bathroom without difficulty, but his legs still a little swollen.
My question is, whether his heart infection associated with drug use habits of the past? Is heart valve infection does need surgery? Are there drugs that can overcome the infection of heart valves?
My sister would require work to be able to support life later. What can we prepare to comply with the state of health? Thank you for your doctor's attention.

Impact of injecting drug use, in addition to the risk of transmission of hepatitis C and HIV, is the emergence of various infections, including heart valve infection called infective bacterial endocarditis.
These infections usually occur in heart valves located on the right heart (tricuspid valve). These infections occur because of the use of unsterile needles. As a result of this infection can occur long fever, auscultation can be heard a heart murmur. Meanwhile, through blood cultures can be isolated germs that cause infection.
In addition to causing symptoms of fever, infection can also be accompanied by shortness of breath or other symptoms caused by disorders of the heart. Valve replacement via surgery is sometimes necessary.
Heart disease is not just about the elderly. Heart disease is also found even in infants, typically congenital heart disease. While rheumatic heart disease are also frequently found in children.
With the rise of injecting drug use, infective bacterial endocarditis are also increasingly found. These diseases require long-term antibiotic therapy, so does the cost of expensive treatment.
The doctor who treated your sister will consider whether you need a younger heart valve replacement surgery. Although heart valve replacement surgery, including major surgery, this operation has long been implemented in Indonesia with pretty good results. Heart valve replacement will improve the quality of life of patients significantly.
Given the number of drug users in our country quite a lot, family issues that you face is also an issue for many families Indonesia. Thus, the program needed a clear order for them to become productive and independent human beings. They should be able to go back to school, work, or had the opportunity to try.
According to the National Narcotics Agency estimates, injection drug users in our country reached more than 500,000 people. So you can imagine how many of our youth who need support in facing the future.
One modest effort is to provide training to carry out business. With even a small business we hope they can become productive citizens and life does not depend on others.
I know teenagers who now has stopped using drugs, his health had recovered, and encouraging they've also had a productive activity. There are teenagers who have internet rental, rent comics, have a shop, mobile phone outlets, and TV repair shop. Very fun to see them bounce back staring at his future.
Hopefully your sister will also find activities that suit him so it can be independently through life.
