We have described a unique case of Haemophilus aphrophilus sternal osteomyelitis, with two separate infections seven years apart. Historical data suggest dental abscesses and trauma, with hematogenous seeding, as the cause. The patient responded well to surgical debridement and penicillin therapy after dental extractions.
