Background: HACEK endocarditis is usually insidious and can often be difficult to diagnose due to the slow-growing nature of the organisms. This report presents our experience in treating a patient with Haemophilus parainfluenzae endocarditis.
Case Presentation: We describe the case of a previously fit and well 23 year-old woman who presented to her local emergency department with a four-week history of persistent febrile illness.
Article Synopsis
- * A 35-year-old Caucasian woman with no previous health issues presented with worsening shortness of breath, leading to chest X-rays and CT scans revealing a large mass in her right hemithorax.
- * The tumor, which was surgically removed and measured about 23.1 cm x 21.0 cm x 11.5 cm and weighed 3640 grams, was confirmed to be a benign SFTP with some potential for malignancy, and follow-up imaging showed no signs of recurrence after six months.
