  • Title: [Suspicion of Haemophilus influenzae endocarditis of the bicuspid aortic valve in a 7-month-old infant].
    Author: Colin A, Poinsot J, Le Fur JM, Alix D.
    Journal: Arch Fr Pediatr; 1989 Mar; 46(3):191-3. PubMed ID: 2786713.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of probable Haemophilus influenzae endocarditis in a 7 month-old infant with a bicuspid aortic valve. Precocity of the occurrence of endocarditis in such asymptomatic cardiac abnormality, scarcity of the suspected germ, and the observed mode of evolution are underlined. This case raises the problem of an endocardial involvement in an infant properly treated by adapted intravenous antibiotherapy. It can be concluded that regular clinical and echocardiographic examination is necessary for every case of severe Haemophilus influenzae infection.
