  • Title: [Haemophilus influenzae infections in children].
    Author: Wium ET, Andersen BM, Flaegstad T.

    Abstract:
    Haemophilus influenzae may cause serious infections, especially in small children. During the period 1980-90, 45 children with systemic H influenzae infections were admitted to the University Clinic, Tromsø. 17 patients had epiglottitis in the same period, but are not included in this material. One of the four septicemia patients and two of the 35 children with meningitis died, giving an overall lethality of 4.8%. Five of the patients with meningitis experienced neurological sequelae (14% of the patients with meningitis). Two of the systemic isolates of H influenzae were resistant to ampicillin because of beta-lactamase production, but all the isolates were susceptible to chloramphenicol and 3rd generation cephalosporins.
