Hemophilus influenzae infections in adults are becoming more common but are often unsuspected in this age group by the primary care physician. Two case reports illustrate pharyngitis, and pharyngitis associated with cellulitis of the neck, in which H influenzae was cultured from the blood. The throat and skin are only two of the many sites for H influenzae infections in adults. As no physical signs are pathognomonic for this organism, its possible role should influence the choice of antibiotics while awaiting culture results. Newer cephalosporins, especially cefamandole and cefoxitin, appear promising in the treatment of these infections.
成人流感嗜血杆菌感染正变得越来越常见，但初级保健医生在这个年龄组中往往对此毫无察觉。两例病例报告说明了咽炎以及与颈部蜂窝织炎相关的咽炎，其中从血液中培养出了流感嗜血杆菌。咽喉和皮肤只是成人流感嗜血杆菌感染的众多部位中的两个。由于没有任何体征对该病原体具有诊断特异性，在等待培养结果时，其可能发挥的作用应影响抗生素的选择。新型头孢菌素，尤其是头孢孟多和头孢西丁，在治疗这些感染方面似乎很有前景。
