We report a case of Haemophilus aphrophilus endocarditis involving mitral and tricupsid valves in a boy with congenital heart disease. He had received dental treatment without antibiotic cover. Prolonged high-dose ampicillin with gentamicin was necessary for cure. Short courses of ampicillin alone may not successfully treat H. aphrophilus.
