RESUMO

From a high proportion of children sent to hospital H. influenzae can be isolated if suitable culture media are used. A number of H. influenzae strains were isolated from unusual sites, such as (1) blood cultures after tonsillectomy or tonsillotomy in five cases; (2) urine or the urinary tract in eight cases; (3) the lumen of appendices removed at operation in 11 cases (4%); (4) osteomyelitis or pyarthrosis in six cases; (5) miscellaneous infections including two perianal abscesses, three cases of paronychia, one infected thyroglossal cyst, and several skin infections.
