Two children are reported who developed lung radiolucencies identical to staphylococcal pneumatocoeles after haemophilus influenzae pneumonia. Recognition that such translucencies can occur after various bacterial pneumonias is important. The radiographic appearances can be confused with congenital lung cysts, which could result in unnecessary surgery. There has been a recent increased incidence of reports of H. influenzae pneumonia in children, with lobar involvement predominating. Thus H. influenzae must be considered a significant cause of lobar pneumonia and the presence of pneumatocoeles does not preclude the diagnosis.
据报道，两名儿童在患流感嗜血杆菌肺炎后出现了与葡萄球菌肺气囊相同的肺部透亮区。认识到各种细菌性肺炎后都可能出现这种透亮区很重要。其影像学表现可能与先天性肺囊肿混淆，这可能导致不必要的手术。最近儿童流感嗜血杆菌肺炎的报告发病率有所增加，以大叶受累为主。因此，流感嗜血杆菌必须被视为大叶性肺炎的重要病因，肺气囊的存在并不排除该诊断。
