“…This young woman had all the characteristics of endocarditis due to Haemophilus influenzae , a potentially lethal condition; large vegetations, multiple emboli, progression of the vegetations despite appropriate treatment and sterilization of blood cultures, and need for emergency surgical intervention [1–5]. Since she had undergone several invasive dental procedures, we assume that the pathogen originated from the oro‐pharynx.…”

We describe in detail 14 children (age, less than or equal to 19 years) who underwent operative intervention during active infection of the heart and/or great vessels. The series included five children less than 6 years old, who constitute 10% of all such cases reported in this age group to date. We also review the 132 published reports in which children underwent operative intervention during active endocarditis. We found the following: (1) The survival rate for all cases was 77%. (2) Persistent infection, embolic phenomena, and increasing congestive heart failure were the most frequent indications for operative intervention. (3) Survival rates were independent of the duration of preoperative antibiotic treatment. (4) Survival rates were independent of positive results of cultures of blood or tissue obtained at operation. (5) The perioperative mortality in our series was 14%. (6) Only 67% of patients had conditions thought to predispose to endocarditis. (7) Except for removal of catheter-associated cardiac masses from neonates, operative intervention in active endocarditis was uncommon among children less than 4 years old. (8) Staphylococcus aureus and viridans streptococci were the etiologic agents in the majority of cases of endocarditis requiring operation during active infection in children.
