Abstract
Indolent Haemophilus influenzae type B septic thrombophlebitis developed in a 14-year-old boy two weeks after completing a course of intravenous antibiotics administered via a "scalp-vein" needle for an unrelated infection. Presumably, the primary disease (common variable immunodeficiency) contributed to the simultaneous occurrence of this uncommon complication of scalp-vein needle use, with an unusual pathogen.Entities:
