    Author: Scott FA, German C, Boswick JA.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 1981 Sep; 6(5):506-9. PubMed ID: 6974184.
    Abstract:
    Hemophilus influenzae type b cellulitis of the hand is a rare infection presenting mainly in the 2-month to 3-year age group. Three proven cases and one clinical case are reported, and the bacteriology and management are discussed. Most of these infections respond to ampicillin and/or chloramphenicol. One must include H. influenzae type b in the differential diagnosis of cellulitis of the hand in this age group and specify this possibility on all cultures so that appropriate identification of the organism can be made.
