| Popis: | HACEK organisms (Haemophilus, Aggregatibacter, Cardiobacterium, Eikenella, and Kingella species) are rare causes of endocarditis. HACEK organisms are fastidious and may escape detection by culture techniques, but the use of molecular studies may aid diagnosis. A 10-year review of pediatric HACEK endocarditis cases at Texas Children's Hospital identified 10 patients, with 2 cases recognized by next-generation sequencing, highlighting potential benefits of these assays. |
