  • Title: Haemophilus influenzae epiglottitis occurring simultaneously in two siblings.
    Author: Trop M, Zobel G, Grubbauer HM, Mokry M.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr; 1991 Jan; 150(3):183-4. PubMed ID: 2044588.
    Abstract:
    Intrafamilial spread of Haemophilus influenzae type B disease has often been described for meningitis, but rarely for epiglottitis. Here we report for the first time epiglottitis occurring simultaneously in two siblings and comment on the value of chemoprophylaxis and vaccination to prevent secondary and primary disease.
