Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Haemophilus segnis is a rarely recognised commensal in the oropharynx. We wish to report the first published case of endocarditis caused by H. segnis. The patient, a 76-year-old female did not recover until after 2 courses of ampicillin given for a total of 57 days. In the second course of treatment, ampicillin was combined with 10 days of netilmicin therapy.
