Haemophilus influenzae respiratory tract infection

Lower respiratory tract infections - Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase-producing), Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., Enterobacter sp., Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Acinetobactersp., Serratia marcescens. 

Lower respiratory tract infections Lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia and bronchitis caused by E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, P. mirabilis, Enterobacter sp. and S. marcescens. Septicemia Septicemia caused by . coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, P. mirabilis, S. marcescens, and Enterobacter sp.

One also often may successfully combine two bacteriostatic antibiotics for special purposes, such as a macrolide and a sulfonamide. Occasionally, these are used in combination for the treatment of an upper respiratory tract infection caused by Haemophilus influenzae, because the combination of a protein biosynthesis inhibitor and an... 

Virus infections such as influenza and the common cold (in reality 300-400 different strains ofrhinovirus) infect epithelial cells ofthe respiratory tract and nasopharynx, respectively. Release ofthe virus, after lysis ofthe host cells, is to the void rather than to subepithelial tissues. The epithelia is further infected resulting in general degeneration ofthe tracts. Such damage predisposes the respiratory tract to infection with opportunistic pathogens such as Neisseria meningitidis and Haemophilus influenzae. 

Infections of the external eye can be caused by viruses and by bacteria from the respiratory tract such as pneumococci and Haemophilus influenzae. Infections of the internal eye can be caused by the same bacteria through spread from a corneal (traumatic) ulcer or by S. aureus. The same pathogens are responsible for periorbital spread in severe sinusitis. Treponema pallidum, CMV and Toxoplasma cause intra-ocular infections. 

The clinical manifestations of PIDs vary with the aspect of the immune system affected. In general, because of the role of antibodies in protection against bacterial infections, individuals with deficiencies in humoral immunity are particularly prone to infections from Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. These individuals are also prone to infections of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary tracts because of the protective role of IgA in secretions. 

Haemophilus influenzae is a bacteria which exists in many forms. The type B form called Hib, commonly produces disease in humans by colonizing the upper respiratory tract of up to 80 percent of the population and is major cause of infection and mortality in children. 

Normal commensals of the upper respiratory tract proliferate in damaged lungs especially following viral infections, pulmonary congestion or pulmonary infarction. Mixed infection is therefore common, and since Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae are often the pathogens, amoxicillin or trimethoprim are reasonable choices, but if...
