Bacteremic infections caused by nontypable Haemophilus influenzae in patients with dysgammaglobulinemia.
D M Musher and R J Wallace, Jr
Abstract
Two patients with dysgammaglobulinemia had bacteremic infections due to nontypable Haemophilus influenzae. The regular use of counterimmunoelectrophoresis or the more careful use of existing agglutination techniques to serotype Haemophilus isolates may identify nontypable H. influenzae in this clinical setting more frequently than has been though possible.
