Clinical and Molecular Epidemiology of Invasive Haemophilus influenzae Serotype a Infections in Utah Children

Clinical and Molecular Epidemiology of Invasive Haemophilus influenzae Serotype a Infections in Utah Children

Following widespread use of the Haemophilus influenzae serotype b (Hib) vaccine, H. influenzae serotype a (Hia) has emerged as an important pathogen in children in some regions. We describe the clinical features and molecular epidemiology of invasive Hia disease in children in Utah over an 11-year p...

Zusammenfassung:Following widespread use of the Haemophilus influenzae serotype b (Hib) vaccine, H. influenzae serotype a (Hia) has emerged as an important pathogen in children in some regions. We describe the clinical features and molecular epidemiology of invasive Hia disease in children in Utah over an 11-year period. We identified cases of invasive Hia disease, defined as detection of Hia from a normally sterile site, in children aged
