Bacteria capable of causing major invasive illnesses
Young children are affected; 90% of patients are under the age of five, while older children are at comparatively low risk of infection.
Haemophilus influenzae type b, contrary to its name, does not cause influenza.
Can be transmitted through respiratory secretions in the air.
Invasive infection can cause a range of dangerous diseases, the most prevalent of which is meningitis, often accompanied by bacterial entry into the bloodstream.
Fever, headache, stiff neck, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, disorientation, and sleepiness are common symptoms.
Secondly, there is a risk of pneumonia, sepsis, otitis media, acute epiglottitis, and death.
Seek medical assistance immediately if your child's fever, strange behavior, or condition worsens, or if you have any doubts about the diagnosis.
