Abstract:

Haemophilus parainfluenzae is a gram negative coccobacillus that is found in the normal flora of the mouth, it is a rare cause of infective endocarditis, and accounts for almost 3% of total endocarditis cases. Usually occurs in patients with poor oral hygiene, and pre-existing valvular lesions. Herein, we are presenting a case of Haemophilus parainfluenzae infective endocarditis with large size vegetations that led to valvular destruction and distant embolization in patient who had no history of structural heart disease or prior oral surgeries.
