Abstract
Haemophilus influenzae endocarditis on a prosthetic valve has previously been reported only once. Routine physical and laboratory evaluation does not distinguish endocarditis from this organism from other causes of endocarditis. Our patient with prosthetic mitral valve endocarditis was successfully treated with antibiotics, but surgery was subsequently required for congestive heart failure from valve dehiscence.Keywords
