The infection caused by non-b-type Haemophilus influenzae has been increasing in this Hib (H.influenzae serotype b) vaccination era. H.influenzae serotype f (Hif) is considered as one of those emerging pathogens. In general, H.influenzae is a common pathogen of such as pneumonia, otitis media, and meningitis, but is rare in soft tissue infection, especially at the extremity. We report a rare case of severe soft tissue infection caused by Hif which occurred at the lower extremity of immunocompetent adult patient.
在b型流感嗜血杆菌（Hib）疫苗接种时代，非b型流感嗜血杆菌引起的感染一直在增加。f型流感嗜血杆菌（Hif）被认为是这些新兴病原体之一。一般来说，流感嗜血杆菌是肺炎、中耳炎和脑膜炎等疾病的常见病原体，但在软组织感染中很少见，尤其是在四肢部位。我们报告了一例罕见的由Hif引起的严重软组织感染病例，该病例发生在免疫功能正常的成年患者的下肢。
