Abstract

Since vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) became widespread, other strains of H. influenzae have become more common than Hib as causes of disease in vaccinated children. A four-month-old, appropriately vaccinated infant presented with meningitis and septicaemia caused by H. influenzae biotype III. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of meningitis caused by this biotype, which is not detectable by Hib antigen tests.

摘要

自从针对b型流感嗜血杆菌（Hib）的疫苗广泛接种以来，在接种过疫苗的儿童中，其他流感嗜血杆菌菌株作为致病原因比Hib更为常见。一名四个月大、接种过适当疫苗的婴儿出现了由III型流感嗜血杆菌生物型引起的脑膜炎和败血症。据我们所知，这是首例由该生物型引起的脑膜炎报告病例，Hib抗原检测无法检测到该生物型。
