Rothia endocarditis in a child

D S Braden et al. South Med J. 1999 Aug.

Abstract

Rothia dentocariosa, an organism inhabiting the oral flora, has been reported to cause endocarditis in adults but not in children. Most patients reported with Rothia endocarditis have a history of poor dentition. We report a case of Rothia endocarditis in a child with congenital heart disease without other known risk factors.
