Infective Endocarditis by Aggregatibacter paraphrophilus: Case Report and Literature Review
J Clin Diagn Res.
2013 Nov.
Abstract
Aggregatibacter paraphrophilus (former name, Haemophilus paraphrophilus) is a normal inhabitant of the naso- and oropharynx and has been rarely reported as a cause of human infections. A case of infective endocarditis by this organism is being reported and literature of endocarditis cases caused by Aggregatibacter paraphrophilus is being reviewed.
Keywords: Aggregatibacter paraphrophilus; Haemophilus paraphrophilus; endocarditis.
