  • Title: Haemophilus paraphrophilus endocarditis in a prolapsed mitral valve.
    Author: De Silva M, Rubin SJ, Lyons RW, Liss JP, Rotatori ES.
    Journal: Am J Clin Pathol; 1976 Nov; 66(5):922-6. PubMed ID: 983999.
    Abstract:
    A case of Haemophilus paraphrophilus endocarditis successfully treated with ampicillin is described. The patient, a 24-year-old woman, had a prolapsed mitral valve. The organism was initally misidentified as H. parainfluenzae, which it closely resembles. H. paraphrophilus is distinguished by its requirement of 10% CO2 for growth on NaCl-free medium and its inability to ferment xylose.
