摘要: From May 1973 through April 1974, a total of 83 children with severe Haemophilus influenzae infections were treated in three Denver pediatric hospitals. Although meningitis was the most common clinical manifestation (45 cases), other foci infection also noted (pneumonia, 12 cases; cheek cellulitis, eight epiglottitis, empyema, seven pericarditis, arthritis, one case; periorbital and abscess, case). Nine had positive blood cultures H without an initial detectable focus infection. Two patients developed clinically apparent sites (osteomyelitis scalp abscesses).
