| [acute epiglottitides in the adult]. | two adults were admitted to the university hospital of geneva with acute haemophilus influenzae type b epiglottitis. the disease was characterized by rapid progression of sore throat, upper dysphagia, fever and dyspnea. acute upper airway obstruction required emergency tracheotomy in both cases. the patients recovered under ampicillin therapy. all the 100 cases from the literature for which clinical data were available have been analyzed:--epiglottitis in adult is not exceptional.--haemophilus i ... | 1978 | 305660 |
| epidemiology of invasive haemophilus influenzae type b infections in geneva, switzerland, 1976 to 1989. | we report a retrospective study of invasive haemophilus influenzae type b (hib) diseases in geneva from 1976 to 1989. among the 183 children who fulfilled the case definition, 6 (3.3%) presented with more than one site of infection. the overall incidence rate among children younger than 5 years of age was 60.2/100,000 but it was 92.1/100,000 in 1989. forty-one percent of patients had meningitis, 37% had epiglottis and 22% had other forms of hib infections. fifty-four percent of cases occurred in ... | 1991 | 2067887 |
| [systemic infections due to type b haemophilus influenzae. a retrospective study of 114 cases]. | the choice of treatment, the importance of chemoprophylaxis in household contacts and the potential impact of immunization with vaccines against haemophilus influenzae type b (hib) currently under investigation are discussed on the basis of the patients hospitalized for invasive hib infections at the university children's hospital geneva from 1976 to 1985. among 122 culture-proven infections due to hib, there were 41% of cases of meningitis, 37.7% of epiglottitis, 9.8% of pneumonia, 5.7% of sept ... | 1988 | 3262604 |

| trends in antibiotic resistance of respiratory tract pathogens in children in geneva, switzerland. | bacteria increasingly resistant to antibiotics are a major treatment concern of respiratory tract pathogens in children. the aim of this study was to assess the trends of resistance of streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae and moraxella catarrhalis to several classes of antibiotics in children<16 years of age and to compare its prevalence with surrounding countries. we studied retrospectively the susceptibility of respiratory tract pathogens isolated from specimens collected from pati ... | 2006 | 16133242 |

| [evolution of vaccine coverage from school year 2003-2004 to 2006-2007, for 5 to 6-year-old children in geneva]. | the authors had for aim to study the evolution of vaccination coverage for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella (mmr) and haemophilus influenzae b (hib) in 5 to 6-year-old children in geneva, from school year 2003-2004 to 2006-2007. | 2010 | 19615837 |
| ampicillin-resistant haemophilus influenzae isolates in geneva: serotype, antimicrobial susceptibility, and β-lactam resistance mechanisms. | the purpose of this study was to analyze the molecular mechanisms of ampicillin-resistant haemophilus influenzae isolated in geneva, switzerland. we investigated the association between specific patterns of amino acid substitutions in penicillin-binding protein 3 (with or without β-lactamase production) and β-lactam susceptibility. another main focus for this study was to compare the accuracy of disk diffusion and etest methods to detect resistance to ampicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. ... | 2015 | 26187432 |
