Haemophilus influenzae meningitis though common in childhood is rarely seen in the adult. During the past four years eight cases of H. influenzae meningitis have been seen in St. Thomas's Hospital and four of these were in patients over 20 years old. There was a possible predisposing condition in two patients. In each case there was difficulty in identification of the organism in the Gram-stained film of the cerebrospinal fluid deposit.
流感嗜血杆菌脑膜炎虽在儿童中常见,但在成人中却很少见。在过去四年里,圣托马斯医院共收治了8例流感嗜血杆菌脑膜炎患者,其中4例患者年龄超过20岁。有2例患者存在可能的易感因素。每例患者在脑脊液沉淀物的革兰氏染色片中鉴定病原体都存在困难。
