Only nine of 1,324 cases of bacterial endocarditis cited in a recent review (2) were due to Hemophilus organisms, an incidence of less than 1 per cent.Hemophilus aphrophilus has been reported as the causative agent in three previous instances of endocarditis. The first patient was reported by Khairat in 1940 (3); the second, by Toshach and Bain in 1958 (4); and the third, by Keith and Lyon in 1963 (2).The present report concerns three additional cases ofHemophilus aphrophilusendocarditis....References1.
