Haemophilus segnis, a common oral bacterium, can cause rare cases of endocarditis. This study details a successful treatment of H. segnis endocarditis with prolonged ampicillin and netilmicin.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Haemophilus segnis is typically a commensal bacterium found in the oropharynx.
  • Infections caused by H. segnis are uncommon, with limited documented cases.

Observation:

  • A 76-year-old female presented with endocarditis.
  • The patient had a prolonged recovery requiring two courses of ampicillin totaling 57 days.

Findings:

  • The endocarditis was successfully treated with a combination of ampicillin and a 10-day course of netilmicin.
  • This case highlights the potential pathogenicity of H. segnis in susceptible individuals.

Implications:

  • This report expands the understanding of H. segnis as a potential pathogen.
