HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE SYMPTOMS (CONSEQUENCES): Mnemonic for Haemophilus Influenzae
Haemophilus influenzae can cause many different kinds of infections
Symptoms of bloodstream infection usually include:
Fever and chills.
Excessive tiredness.
Pain in the belly.
Nausea with or without vomiting.
Diarrhea.
Anxiety.
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
Altered mental status (confusion)
H.flu
How does Haemophilus influenzae affect the body?
influenzae infections can result in long-term problems or death. For example, bloodstream infections can result in loss of limbs. Meningitis can cause brain damage or hearing loss.
How serious is Haemophilus influenzae?

Haemophilus influenzae
A Gram-negative, coccobacillary, facultatively anaerobic pathogenic bacterium that grows in the upper airways of adults and children, normally without causing any disease.
The bacterium was mistakenly considered to be the cause of influenza until 1933 and is still colloquially known as bacterial influenza.
(Types)
• encapsulated strains: a, b, c, d, e, and f. The capsule allows them to resist phagocytosis and complement-mediated lysis.
• unencapsulated strains (nontypable (NTHi)): Lack capsular serotypes. Classified by multilocus sequence typing. Genetic diversity is greater. Less invasive, however, produce an inflammatory response leading to many symptoms.

HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE SYMPTOMS (CONSEQUENCES): Mnemonic for Haemophilus Influenzae
Haemophilus influenzae can cause many different kinds of infections
Symptoms of bloodstream infection usually include:
Fever and chills.
Excessive tiredness.
Pain in the belly.
Nausea with or without vomiting.
Diarrhea.
Anxiety.
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
Altered mental status (confusion)
H.flu
How does Haemophilus influenzae affect the body?
influenzae infections can result in long-term problems or death. For example, bloodstream infections can result in loss of limbs. Meningitis can cause brain damage or hearing loss.
How serious is Haemophilus influenzae?
influenzae can invade the spinal fluid, causing meningitis, or bloodstream, causing bacteremia. Invasive disease is usually serious, requiring treatment in a hospital, and can sometimes result in death.
What causes Haemophilus influenzae? The H. influenzae bacteria live in the upper respiratory tract and are usually transmitted by close contact with an infected individual. Droplets in the air from a sneeze, cough or close conversation can be inhaled and may also cause infection.
What is Haemophilus influenzae adults?
Nontypeable H. influenzae is an important cause of community acquired pneumonia, especially in the elderly and adults with COPD. Clinical features are similar to those of pneumonia caused by other bacteria and include fever, cough, and purulent sputum usually of several days duration.
What antibiotic kills Haemophilus influenza?
influenzae, ampicillin is recommended as standard therapy, with an expanded-spectrum cephalosporin, cefepime, or chloramphenicol as alternate regimens
Is Haemophilus influenzae a virus or bacteria?
H influenzae meningitis is caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b bacteria. This illness is not the same as the flu (influenza), which is caused by a virus. Before the Hib vaccine, H influenzae was the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in children under age 5.
How long are you contagious with Haemophilus influenzae?
A person can spread H. influenzae non-type B as long as the bacterium is present. If treated with antibiotics, a person will be able to spread the bacteria for 24 to 48 hours after they begin taking the medicine.
Does Haemophilus influenzae require isolation?
Isolation: H. influenzae is communicable until 24 hours after initiation of appropriate antibiotic therapy. Cases of invasive H. influenzae type B disease should be isolated until 24 hours after initiating appropriate antimicrobial treatment.
Is Haemophilus influenzae the same as flu?
Haemophilus influenzae Disease (Including Hib)
Some of these illnesses, like ear infections, are mild while others, like bloodstream infections, are very serious. In spite of the name, H. influenzae do not cause influenza (the flu).
How common is Hib disease?
In the United States, Hib disease is not common. It occurs primarily in underimmunized children and in infants too young to have completed the primary immunization series.
What does Haemophilus influenzae look like?
Haemophilus influenzae is a small (1 µm × 0.3 µm), pleomorphic, gram-negative coccobacillus. Some strains of H influenzae possess a polysaccharide capsule, and these strains are serotyped into 6 different types (a-f) based on their biochemically different capsules. The most virulent strain is H influenzae type b (Hib).
Where is Haemophilus influenzae most commonly found?
The one that people are most familiar with is H. influenzae type b or Hib. These bacteria live in people's nose and throat, and usually cause no harm. However, the bacteria can sometimes move to other parts of the body and cause infection.
How long does Haemophilus influenzae live on surfaces?
SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST: Hib does not survive long term in the environment(6), but can survive more than 18 hrs in mucous and 12 hrs on plastic (20).
What does Haemophilus mean?
Haemophilus is the name of a group of bacteria. There are several types of Haemophilus. They can cause different types of illnesses involving breathing, bones and joints, and the nervous system. One common type, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), causes serious disease. It usually strikes children under 5 years old
How do I stop Hib?
How can haemophilus influenzae be prevented? The Hib vaccine can prevent most serious cases of H flu disease. Those in close contact with people with serious H flu disease should receive preventive antibiotics. General hygiene measures can decrease the spread of H flu.
Can you get Hib if you are vaccinated?
However, episodes of Hib disease in fully vaccinated children do occur. The two commonest types of infection in such cases are meningitis, followed by epiglottitis, with other clinical presentations seen more rarely.
How many types of Haemophilus influenzae are there?
The six generally recognized types of encapsulated H. influenzae are: a, b, c, d, e, and f.

A Gram-negative, coccobacillary, facultatively anaerobic pathogenic bacterium that grows in the upper airways of adults and children, normally without causing any disease.
The bacterium was mistakenly considered to be the cause of influenza until 1933 and is still colloquially known as bacterial influenza.
(Types)
• encapsulated strains: a, b, c, d, e, and f. The capsule allows them to resist phagocytosis and complement-mediated lysis.
• unencapsulated strains (nontypable (NTHi)): Lack capsular serotypes. Classified by multilocus sequence typing. Genetic diversity is greater. Less invasive, however, produce an inflammatory response leading to many symptoms.
(Diagnosis)
• Symptoms
- 1. Upper respiratory tract infection mimicking a viral infection, usually associated with fevers, often low-grade.
- 2. Lower respiratory tract infection in a few days mimicking wheezy bronchitis. Sputum (often grey or creamy in color) may be difficult to expectorate. The cough may persist for weeks without appropriate treatment. Not respond to penicillins or first-generation cephalosporins. A chest X-ray can identify alveolar consolidation.
• Bacterial culture or latex particle agglutinations
- • Not from the nasopharyngeal cavity or sputum, because these sites are colonized in disease-free individuals.
- • From cerebrospinal fluid or blood.
