Abstract

We report on an 8-year-old Haemophilus influenzae type b-vaccinated girl with meningitis due to H. influenzae type f. The girl had an oro-facio-digital syndrome and a hypogammaglobulinemia, obviously predisposing the patient to invasive infections. Treatment with cefotaxime was successful.Incidence, predisposing factors and the influence of H. influenzae type b immunization on invasive infections with non-type b H. influenzae strains in children are discussed.
