Q fever endocarditis is the most common presentation of chronic infection of but it rarely occurs in the pediatric age group. We report the first case of Q fever endocarditis in an Omani child. The affected 11-year-old female lives in the Al Batinah governorate in the north of Oman and was known to have congenital heart disease. She presented with features of chronic blood culture-negative endocarditis. The infection was confirmed with the indirect immunofluorescence assay. The patient responded well to a combination of doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine therapy.

Unlabelled: The incidence of invasive group A Streptococcus (iGAS) infection has been increasing across all age groups, including pediatric patients, and is associated with high mortality rates. Although iGAS infection leads to streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing soft tissue infections, iGAS-associated infective endocarditis (IE) is rare. Here, we report a case of iGAS-associated IE, streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, and pyomyositis that occurred after the Fontan procedure in a 7-year-old patient.
