Respiratory infections caused by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae.
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review will consider recent developments in the clinical aspects of infections due to non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae. In addition, newer developments in the areas of mechanisms of pathogenesis, host pathogen interaction, immune responses and efforts toward vaccine development will be reviewed briefly. RECENT FINDINGS: Non-typeable H. influenzae continues to be a common cause of otitis media in infants and children, sinusitis in children and adults, pneumonia in adults, and lower respiratory tract infection in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. While the rate of beta-lactamase production by isolates of H. influenzae varies geographically, most regions show a rate of 20-35% of isolates producing beta-lactamase. Recent studies have highlighted the possible role of bacterial biofilms formed by H. influenzae as a cause of otitis media. Several lines of evidence indicate that H. influenzae causes intracellular infection in the lower respiratory tract in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and this observation has important implications in understanding the human immune response to the bacterium. Lipooligosaccharide is an important virulence factor for H. influenzae and research is generating new information on the complex role of this molecule in colonization and infection of the respiratory tract. Several surface molecules are under active evaluation as vaccine antigens. SUMMARY: Non-typeable H. influenzae is an important cause of respiratory tract infections in children and adults. Most strains are susceptible to amoxicillin/clavulanate, fluoroquinolones and the newer macrolides. Research in the next decade promises substantial progress in the challenge of developing vaccines for nontypeable H. influenzae.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
