Tricuspid valve endocarditis caused by Haemophilus parainfluenzae: a case report and review of the literature
Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis.
2009 Jun.
Abstract
Haemophilus parainfluenzae is a Gram-negative bacterium that is often difficult to isolate and identify. We report a rare case of tricuspid valve and pacemaker endocarditis caused by this organism and explore factors related to etiopathogenesis, prevention, and treatment.
