| haemophilus infections | <microbiology> Infections with bacteria of the genus haemophilus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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 meningitis | <disease> A form of meningitis caused by the bacterium haemophilus influenza. Inflammation of the membranes (meninges) covering the brain and spinal cord can result after infection with this organism. Influenza meningitis occurs most frequently in children under 5 years old. Onset may be sudden or occur more slowly after an upper respiratory infection. Symptoms and features include fever, headache, stiff neck, photophobia and mental status changes. Infants may be irritable and exhibit poor feeding associated with fever. Severe cases may progress to seizures, coma and death. Treatment always includes high-dose systemic antibiotics and corticosteroids may also be used in some select cases. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Haemophilus paragallinarum | <bacteria> A species that causes infectious coryza in chickens and other birds. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Haemophilus parahaemolyticus | <bacteria> A species found in the upper respiratory tract and associated frequently with pharyngitis; occasionally causes subacute endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Haemophilus parainfluenzae | <bacteria> A species which is usually nonpathogenic but which occasionally causes subacute endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Haemophilus parasuis | <bacteria> A species causing Glasser's disease in pigs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Haemophilus somnus | <bacteria> A species causing thromboembolic meningoencephalitis in cattle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Haemophilus suis | <bacteria> A species, related to Haemophilus influenzae, found in swine and associated with influenza virus in the pneumonia of swine influenza. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haemophilus vaccines | Vaccines or candidate vaccines containing antigenic polysaccharides from haemophilus influenzae and designed to prevent infection. The vaccine can contain the polysaccharides alone or more frequently polysaccharides conjugated to carrier molecules. It is also seen as a combined vaccine with diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| factor X for Haemophilus | <physiology> A substance, in the form of reddish brown, microscopic, prismatic crystals, formed from dried blood by the action of strong acetic acid and common salt; called also Teichmann's crystals. Chemically, it is a hydrochloride of haematin. The obtaining of these small crystals, from old blood clots or suspected blood stains, constitutes one of the best evidences of the presence of blood.

| acellular vaccine | <immunology, pharmacology, virology> Vaccine consisting of antigenic parts of cells. (13 Nov 1997) |
| adjuvant vaccine | A vaccine that contains an adjuvant; most often the antigen (immunogen) is included in a water-in-oil emulsion (Freund incomplete type adjuvant), or is adsorbed onto an inorganic gel (alum, aluminum hydroxide or phosphate). (05 Mar 2000) |
| aqueous vaccine | A vaccine having a liquid vehicle (e.g., physiological salt solution) as distinguished from an emulsion. (05 Mar 2000) |
