Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae as a cause of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
Haemophilus influenzae rarely causes spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. We describe a typical case of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in which the causative organism was identified as nontypeable H. influenzae, biotype III. Infection progressed despite the presence of adequate serum bactericidal antibody, probably due to the absence of complement in ascites fluid.
متن کاملVaccine Candidates against Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae: a Review
Nonencapsulated, nontypeable Hemophilus influenzae (NTHi) remains an important cause of acute otitis and respiratory diseases in children and adults. NTHi bacteria are one of the major causes of respiratory tract infections, including acute otitis media, cystic fibrosis, and community-acquired pneumonia among children, especially in developing countries. The bacteria can also cause chronic dise...
متن کامل[A rare cause of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis: Haemophilus influenzae].
Haemophilus influenzae is a rarely reported cause of peritonitis in chronic ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. In this report, a peritonitis case due to H. influenzae in a 32-years-old female patient with end-stage renal failure receiving CAPD for 7 years, has been reported.

متن کاملSpontaneous bacterial peritonitis with a very high leukocyte count in ascitic fluid caused by Haemophilus influenzae
We report on a case of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) due to Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae) in an elderly patient with alcoholic cirrhosis. The patient presented with a 5 day history of fever, cough, and fatigue. Abdominal paracentesis revealed a very high neutrophil count (134,800 cells/μL). Secondary peritonitis and abdominal abscess were ruled out. Peritoneal fluid culture d...
متن کاملSurvival of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae in macrophages.
In this study we have investigated the ability of nonencapsulated, nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae, NT477 to survive in the J774 mouse macrophage-like cell line. Viable, intracellular nontypeable H. influenzae could still be recovered from macrophages 72 h after phagocytosis. In contrast, H. influenzae strain Rd, an avirulent, nonencapsulated variant of a serotype d strain, was killed within...
