Pediatric haemophilus influenzae meningitis

Haemophilus influenzae meningitis is more common in children, and its incidence is second only to meningococcal and pneumococcal meningitis, and it is more common in infants aged 3 months to 3 years. Hemophilus influenzae (Hemophilusinfluenzae) is referred to as influenza bacterium for short, also known as Pfeiffersbacillus, Haemophilus influenzae, and Haemophilus influenzae. The bacterium can cause various infections in humans, such as ocular meningitis, otitis media, and upper respiratory tract infections. Most of them are caused by non-B-type Haemophilus influenzae. Serious infections such as meningitis, epiglottis, pericarditis, pneumonia, arthritis, osteomyelitis, sepsis, and facial cellulitis are mostly caused by Hemophilusinfluenzaeb (Hib). The proportion of purulent meningitis in children is 28.9% to 51.7%, which accounts for 1/3 to 1/2 of the proportion of pyogenic meningitis in children. Before the European and American countries did not use the vaccine, it was the first pathogenic bacteria in children with purulent meningitis. The clinical manifestations of various brains caused by various bacteria are similar, which can be summarized as the manifestations of central infection, symptoms of increased intracranial pressure and meningeal irritation.
