Fifteen adults (14 of whom were previously fit and 10 were aged less than 40) with pneumonia, in whom the only pathogen identified was Haemophilus influenzae, are described. One patient was bacteraemic. Clinical, radiographic and laboratory features were similar to other community-acquired pneumonias. H. influenzae should be considered as a cause of pneumonia even in previously fit, young adults.
本文描述了15例肺炎成人患者（其中14例既往健康，10例年龄小于40岁），这些患者唯一鉴定出的病原体是流感嗜血杆菌。1例患者发生菌血症。其临床、影像学和实验室特征与其他社区获得性肺炎相似。即使在既往健康的年轻成人中，流感嗜血杆菌也应被视为肺炎的病因之一。
