Meningitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) was eliminated in Oman after the introduction of Hib vaccine in 2001. However, a case of H. influenzae type a meningitis was diagnosed in a child from Oman in 2015, which highlights the need to monitor the incidence of invasive non-Hib H. influenzae disease.
2001年在阿曼引入b型流感嗜血杆菌(Hib)疫苗后,由其引起的脑膜炎已被消除。然而,2015年在一名来自阿曼的儿童中诊断出一例a型流感嗜血杆菌脑膜炎,这凸显了监测侵袭性非Hib流感嗜血杆菌疾病发病率的必要性。
