    Author: Möller LV, Ruijs GJ, Heijerman HG, Dankert J, van Alphen L.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1992 Sep; 30(9):2495-7. PubMed ID: 1401024.
    Abstract:
    To determine the frequency of Haemophilus influenzae in sputum from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), 477 sputum samples obtained from 86 CF patients were analyzed by standard culture and by the in situ immunoperoxidase staining technique with monoclonal antibody 8BD9. H. influenzae was isolated from 109 sputum samples (23%) from 45 patients (52%) and detected by immunoperoxidase staining in 175 sputum samples (37%) obtained from 63 patients (73%). The results of this study demonstrate the frequent presence of H. influenzae in sputum samples from CF patients.
