    Author: Porath A, Wanderman K, Simu A, Vidne B, Alkan M.
    Journal: Am J Med Sci; 1986 Aug; 292(2):110-11. PubMed ID: 3728558.
    Abstract:
    Endocarditis due to Haemophilus is uncommon. This is the first reported case caused by Haemophilus aegyptius. The course of the disease was complicated by pericarditis, congestive heart failure, and myocardial abscess formation. Surgical removal of the damaged aortic valve was not beneficial. The biologic properties of the organism included urea degradation, absence of indole metabolism, and absence of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase.
