| [epiglottitis with an abscess caused by haemophilus parainfluenzae]. | a healthy 23-year-old man was admitted under the diagnosis of acute epiglottitis. flexible fiber laryngoscopic examination showed a swollen epiglottis with an abscess. microbiologic swab showed haemophilus parainfluenzae, non-haemolytic streptococcus and non-haemolytic streptococcus salivarius. only in 1984 a case of acute epiglottitis due to h. parainfluenzae has been described in the literature. still, in this case we think that h. parainfluenzae was the most likely pathogen causing the absces ... | 2014 | 25350891 |
| necessity of 16s rrna gene sequencing for identifying haemophilus parainfluenzae-like strains associated with opportunistic urinary tract infections. | the identification of haemophilus spp. from urogenital sites can be challenging due to the lack of appropriate media for culturing the organisms and the poor resolution of biochemical methods. by incorporating chocolate agar and 16s rrna gene sequence analysis in our protocol to identify haemophilus spp. from urinary specimens, we isolated and characterized 30 genetically homogeneous strains of a cryptic species that is phylogenetically close to, but distinct from, haemophilus parainfluenzae. co ... | 2014 | 24648471 |
| acute septic arthritis of the acromioclavicular joint caused by haemophilus parainfluenzae: a rare causative origin. | septic arthritis of the acromioclavicular (ac) joint is a rare entity with symptoms that include erythema, swelling, and tenderness over the ac joint, fever, and limitation of shoulder motion with pain. in previous reports, staphylococcus and streptococcus species have been mentioned as common causative organisms. haemophilus parainfluenzae is a normal inhabitant of the oral cavity, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and urogenital tract. however, it sometimes causes opportunistic infect ... | 2015 | 24584486 |

| haemophilus parainfluenzae prosthetic valve endocarditis complicated by septic emboli to brain. | a 51-year-old man with a history of injection drug use presented to the emergency roomwith fevers, chills and headaches. five months earlier, he had undergone bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement for infective endocarditis owing to corynebacterium auricumosum involving a bicuspid aortic valve. blood cultures obtained during current hospitalisation grew haemophilus parainfluenzae and patient underwent a transesophageal echocardiogram that revealed a large mitral valve vegetation. owing to persi ... | 2013 | 23737586 |

| invasive disease caused by haemophilus parainfluenzae iii in a child with uropathy. | urinary tract infections (utis) caused by haemophilus parainfluenzae represent a very small percentage of this kind of pathology in children, and it has scarcely been described in the medical literature. according to previous studies of over 800 urine samples in children under 15 years old, a decrease of 50% (from 0.13% to 0.07%) is estimated in its occurrence over the last two decades. this can be explained by the early detection of utis and their early empirical treatment, because this micro-o ... | 2013 | 23412773 |
| staphylococcus aureus and other skin and soft tissue infections among basic military trainees, lackland air force base, texas, 2008-2012. | military training environments have been identified as high-risk settings for acquisition of skin and soft tissue infections (sstis), including those caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa). among the 148,355 basic military trainees at lackland air force base, texas, between 1 october 2008 and 30 september 2012, there were 289 sstis, including 48 cases of culture-confirmed mrsa and 48 cases of possible mrsa-defined as sstis treated with both incision and drainage and mrsa dr ... | 2013 | 23373867 |
| haemophilus parainfluenzae urethritis among homosexual men. | haemophilus parainfluenzae is a common inhabitant of the human upper respiratory tract of the normal oral microflora. we report three men who had been having unprotected sex with men (msm) and subsequently acquired h. parainfluenzae urethritis, which was confirmed by 16s rrna gene sequencing analysis. two men were treated with ceftriaxone and doxycycline, and the third man was treated with clarithromycin. all three patients responded to treatment. this case series highlights the potential role o ... | 2015 | 23357607 |
| haemophilus parainfluenzae: report of an unusual cause of neonatal sepsis and a literature review. | haemphilus parainfluenzae, an unusual cause of early-onset neonatal sepsis, is rarely reported. risk factors for this serious infection include prolonged rupture of membranes, choriamnionitis, and prematurity. a high index of suspicion, proper culture techniques, and rapid species identification are needed to diagnose h. parainfluenzae sepsis. we present the first documented case from india with a review of the literature. | 2012 | 23103898 |

| haemophilus pittmaniae respiratory infection in a patient with siderosis: a case report. | haemophilus pittmaniae was described in 2005 as a new species distantly related to haemophilus parainfluenzae. this member of the human saliva microbiota has also been further isolated from various body fluids without formal description of the patients. | 2012 | 22546325 |
| surgical site infections after gracilis free flap reconstruction for facial paralysis. | compared with other free tissue transfer procedures, the gracilis free muscle transfer (gfmt) for facial reanimation is unique in that the recipient site is typically uninvolved by malignancy or infection. in this study, the authors examined the incidence, bacteriology, and outcomes of surgical site infection (ssi) after gracilis free muscle transfer for facial reanimation. from 2003 to 2011, 105 patients underwent 107 gfmt operations, with 6 ssis. all cases of infection occurred in patients rec ... | 2012 | 22496103 |
