Abstract
Rothia dentocariosa, an organism inhabiting the oral flora, has been reported to cause endocarditis in adults but not in children. Most patients reported with Rothia endocarditis have a history of poor dentition. We report a case of Rothia endocarditis in a child with congenital heart disease without other known risk factors.Keywords
