  • Title: Common variable hypogammaglobulinemia presenting as nontypable Haemophilus influenzae septic arthritis in an adult.
    Author: Hawkins RE, Malone JD, Ebbeling WL.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1991 May; 18(5):775-6. PubMed ID: 1865431.
    Abstract:
    Haemophilus influenzae is a rare cause of septic arthritis in adults. We describe a case of septic arthritis with nontypable Haemophilus influenzae presenting as the first invasive infection leading to a diagnosis of common variable hypogammaglobulinemia. Although nontypable strains have been shown to cause serious infections in adults, they are a rare cause of septic arthritis. Underlying immune deficiency should be considered in an adult who presents with invasive infection with Haemophilus influenzae, regardless of serotype.
