It may also be a purulent producing infection which is common with H. influenzae. ODH-IDCM HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE Page 3/Section 3 Revised 2/2015 Cellulitis: Most often seen in young children, this H. influenzae disease frequently begins with an upper respiratory illness, followed by the acute onset of cellulitis.

Haemophilus influenzae type b (Haemophilus b or Hib) infection is caused by a germ that can cause meningitis and other infections. Meningitis is a serious infection of the fluid and lining that covers the spinal cord. Hib can also affect the epiglottis (in the throat), blood, lungs, joints, bones and skin. Children under 5 years of age and children who attend childcare centers are at the highest risk for Hib infection.

H. aegyptius conjunctivitis has also been observed in the southern states of the United States [Pittman]. The BPF clone of H. influenzae biogroup aegyptius is more difficult to evaluate. Cases of Brazilian Purpuric Fever have been predominant in the Sao Paulo state.

The bacterium haemophilus influenzae is a gram-negative coccobaccilli. It was first thought to be the causative agent of influenza as this microbe was discovered during an outbreak of influenza in 1892 (2). Infection with H. influenzae causes upper respiratory tract symptoms including cough and later, bronchitis (2). In 1970, Hamilton O. Smith, K.W. Wilcox, and Thomas J. Kelly isolated the first Type II restriction enzyme from the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae (1, 2).

H. aegyptius was first observed by Koch in 1883. Under the German Cholera Commission of Egypt, Koch studied 50 patients in Egypt who were suffering from Egyptian eye disease. He discovered this disease was caused by two bacteria.

Haemophilus influenzae biogroup aegyptius (Hae) is a causative agent of acute and often purulent conjunctivitis, more commonly known as pink eye. It was discovered independently by Koch and Weeks in the 1880s.

The use of H. influenzae could be important as this bacterium may cause chronic upper airway infection (8). In a study investigating the effectivness of an EpiAirway model (MatTek), H. influenzae was used as the inoculating bacteria.

Prior to the use of effective vaccines, H. influenzae type b (Hib) accounted for95% of systemic H. influenzae infections in children. During the influenza pandemic of 1889-92, this organism was isolated from patients who died and was mistakenly claimed to be the cause of influenza.

Haemophilus influenzae type b is a bacteria that can cause a variety of different kinds of infections (for example, ear infections, sinus infections, pneumonia, blood s tream infections, and infections of the covering of the spinal cord and brain).

Osteomyelitis: Bone infections due to H. influenzae are often associated with pre-existing conditions, such as sickle cell anemia. Septic Arthritis: H. influenzae is the most common cause of septic arthritis in children 2 months to 2 years of age. Large, weight-bearing joints are typically affected. There may be decreased mobility, pain on movement and swelling of the joint or signs can be more subtle.
