  • Title: Hemophilus aphrophilus endocarditis with a probable primary dental focus of infection.
    Author: Root TE, Silva EA, Edwards LD, Topp JH.
    Journal: Chest; 1981 Jul; 80(1):109-10. PubMed ID: 7249697.
    Abstract:
    A case of Hemophilus aphrophilus endocarditis in association with a prosthetic valve is reported in which the organism was isolated from dental plaque as well as blood. We emphasize the need for treating the primary source of the infection; in this case, periodontal disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of H aphrophilus endocarditis in which an oral primary focus has been demonstrated.
