| Haemophilus influenza | <bacteria> A gram-negative bacteria that is a common cause for epiglottitis, meningitis, conjunctivitis, sepsis and respiratory infections. Haemophilus influenza type b is a gram-negative bacteria that is responsible for a significant percentage of bacterial sepsis (blood-borne infection) cases in infants under 4 months of age (pneumonia, epiglottitis, sepsis, septic arthritis, cellulitis). There is a new vaccination available to protect against this common infant pathogen (HIB vaccine, haemophilus influenza b vaccine). (27 Sep 1997) |
| Haemophilus influenza b vaccine | <virology> A vaccination that is given to infants to protect against infection with haemophilus influenza b, an important cause of neonatal sepsis. Typically administered at 2, 4, 6 and 15 months. Children who are aged 15 months to 5 years, who have not received the vaccine, should be given a single injection of haemophilus b conjugate vaccine. Acronym: HIB (26 Mar 1998) |
| Haemophilus influenzae | <bacteria> Bacterium sometimes associated with influenza virus infections, causes pneumonia and meningitis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| haemophilus influenzae type b | The majority of type b isolates are from biotype I. The organism can cause life-threatening meningitis, primarily in children 6-12 months of age. Children with underlying disease or immunodeficiency are also at high risk for infection. A vaccine is available and recommended for children under 5 years of age. (12 Dec 1998) |
