Pediatric haemophilus influenzae pneumonia

Hemophilus influenzal pneumonia is caused by Haemophilus influenzae pneumonia. More common in infants under 4 years old, occasionally in newborns and adults, often complicated by influenza virus or staphylococcal infection patients. In 1892, Pfeiffer isolated the bacteria for the first time from the nasopharyngeal secretions of influenza patients. It was mistakenly named as the pathogen of influenza and has been used ever since. Symptoms, signs, and X-ray findings are not easily distinguishable from other bacterial pneumonias.
