Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae have been, in very seldom times, described as a cause of urinary tract infection (UTI), mainly on adults. Their real incidence has been scarcely studied. In view of this situation, we have investigated the cases occurred during the year of 1994 in our hospital, in Cádiz (Spain).
A total of 16,446 urine cultures from in-patients and ambulatory patients were processed, including the chocolate agar medium in the cultures.
Urinary infection by Haemophilus supposed an incidence of 0.27% with respect to all positive urine cultures, and a 0.88% of the paediatric ones. H. influenzae was isolated in 7 occasions, and H. parainfluenzae in 3 of them. The 80% of the cases of UTI corresponded to paediatric patients.
It would be convenient the inclusion of chocolate agar medium in the urine cultures for determined patients, chiefly on children.
流感嗜血杆菌和副流感嗜血杆菌极少被描述为尿路感染(UTI)的病因,主要见于成人。它们的实际发病率鲜有研究。鉴于此,我们对1994年在西班牙加的斯我们医院发生的病例进行了调查。
共处理了16446份住院患者和门诊患者的尿液培养样本,培养中包括巧克力琼脂培养基。
相对于所有阳性尿液培养样本,嗜血杆菌引起的尿路感染发生率为0.27%,在儿科患者中为0.88%。分离出7例流感嗜血杆菌,其中3例为副流感嗜血杆菌。80%的尿路感染病例为儿科患者。
对于特定患者,尤其是儿童,在尿液培养中加入巧克力琼脂培养基是适宜的。
