Being rigorously studied, epidemiology aspects of Haemophilus influenzae carriage are still remaining unclear. Especially it concerns such a group as children with low immune status and also such group as children with tuberculosis infection. We examined nasopharyngeal tract of children with tuberculosis infection in remission and checked how often these children are carriers of Haemophilus influenzae strains. Also we gained microbiology characteristics of the isolates and defined the clinical significance of H. influenzae carriage in development of opportunistic infections in children with the tuberculosis infection.
尽管对流感嗜血杆菌携带的流行病学方面进行了严格研究，但仍不清楚。特别是对于免疫功能低下的儿童群体以及结核感染儿童群体而言。我们检查了结核感染已缓解儿童的鼻咽部，查看这些儿童携带流感嗜血杆菌菌株的频率。我们还获得了分离株的微生物学特征，并确定了流感嗜血杆菌携带在结核感染儿童机会性感染发生中的临床意义。
