  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23106-haemophilus-influenzae

  Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) affects children younger than 5 years of age and adults over 65 years of age. […] The Hib vaccine can help protect against Haemophilus influenzae type b infections. […] The Hib vaccine is part of the routine childhood immunization schedule. Therefore, H. influenzae diseases primarily affect children who haven’t been vaccinated for Hib type b. […] You can protect your child from Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) infections with the Hib vaccine. […] Your child’s healthcare provider will typically give the Hib vaccine in three or four doses. […] The Hib vaccine prevents infections from Haemophilus influenzae type b. But it doesn’t prevent infections caused by other types of H. influenzae. […] The outlook (prognosis) for H. influenzae infections depends on the type and severity of your child’s condition. […] The best way to prevent these types of infections is through vaccination.

  Hib is a bacterial infection caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b that affects the airways, skin, ears, bones or brain. It is a serious disease that can cause deafness, brain damage and even death. Hib is a contagious disease, caught by contact with fluids from an infected person. Hib can affect people of all ages but can be prevented with vaccination. Treatment includes antibiotics, usually in hospital. […] Hib can be prevented with vaccination. If you’re eligible, you can get Hib vaccines for free under the National Immunisation Program. […] If you have close contact with someone who has Hib, your doctor may give you antibiotics to prevent you getting infected. […] Hib is a nationally notifiable disease. […] We monitor cases through the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System.

  Hib disease used to be more common in the United States — about 20,000 children got serious Hib infections every year. Thanks to the vaccine, serious cases of Hib disease have dropped by more than 99% since 1991. […] The Hib vaccine protects children and adults from Hib disease. […] In infants and young children, Hib disease can be very serious. It can cause infections in different parts of the body — including the brain and lungs. These infections can lead to serious complications, and can even be deadly. […] The Hib vaccine is the best way to protect your child from Hib disease. […] Hib disease is caused by a type of bacteria. It mostly affects children younger than 5 years, but adults with certain health conditions are also at increased risk for Hib disease. […] All infants and children need the Hib vaccine as part of their routine vaccine schedule. They need either 3 or 4 doses, depending on which brand of the Hib vaccine they get.

  The infection usually starts suddenly with: fever, vomiting, lack of energy, confusion, headache, stiff neck. […] Hib can cause serious and life-threatening infections including meningitis (an infection of the lining that covers the brain) and septicemia (an infection of the blood). Hib bacteria can also cause a serious and life-threatening infection in the throat called epiglottitis. […] Hib infection is spread by coughing, sneezing or close face-to-face contact. It can also be spread through saliva or spit when people kiss or share food, utensils, and drinks. […] For every 20 children who get sick, one will die. Permanent complications of infection include brain damage. […] Hospitalization is usually needed. Diagnosis is based on cultures taken (most often of spinal fluid, blood, lung fluid, or joint fluid) to determine the infection is caused by Hib bacteria.

  Haemophilus Influenzae type b, commonly known as Hib, is a bacterium that can cause severe infections, particularly in young children. […] Hib bacteria can cause many types of invasive disease, including meningitis, pneumonia, cellulitis (skin infection), septic arthritis (joint infection) and epiglottitis (infection of the epiglottis, causing obstruction or closing of the windpipe). […] Before the Hib vaccine was introduced, meningitis infection of the membranes that cover the brain was the most common Hib-induced invasive disease. Symptoms include fever, stiff neck, and impaired mental status. […] Antibiotics may be used to treat Hib infections, but the bacteria has developed resistance to some antibiotics. Hospitalization is often required. […] Because the spectrum of Hib disease ranges from meningitis to pneumonia, the types of complications vary depending on the type of Hib infection. Many of these are forms of neurologic damage, including blindness, deafness, and mental retardation.

  Control measures are for Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) only. There are no control measures for other types. […] Isolate the case until 24 hours after initiating appropriate antimicrobial treatment to eliminate carriage. Cefotaxime and ceftriaxone or chloramphenicol is recommended for treatment concurrently or singly until antibiotic sensitivities are known. Rifampin should be given to eliminate nasal carriage of the organism. […] Prophylaxis is indicated to protect children less than 12 months old or a child of 1-3 years who is inadequately immunized. If this circumstance is found everyone around them, including household contacts of any age, should receive prophylaxis. […] For a single case of Hib disease in a child who attends childcare, the decision to offer chemoprophylaxis to the childcare contacts should be made based on a case by case basis.
