	NJDHSS, Communicable Diseases, Disease Fact Sheets: Hemophilus influenzae Type B Meningitis
		Haemophilus influenzae type B meningitis is an infection of the tissue which covers the brain (meninges) caused by the bacteria Haemophilus influenzae.
		Haemophilus influenzae type B disease almost exclusively affects children under 5 years of age, and prior to the introduction of the Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type B) vaccine, it was the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in this age group.
		Haemophilus influenzae type B bacteria are spread from person to person by direct contact, or through inhalation of respiratory droplets released into the air through sneezing or coughing.

	Haemophilus Influenzae Type B (HIB)
		Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is a life threatening condition.
		Before the introduction of Hib immunisation in 1993, the bacterial infection Haemophilus influenza type B was one of the most common causes of meningitis in young children (generally under the age of 2 years), and it was also the cause of epiglottitis which causes breathing problems.
		Haemophilus influenza type b is a highly contagious bacterium which is known to cause meningitis, epiglottitis, pneumonia, septic arthritis, cellulitis, pericarditis, empyema and osteomyelitis.

		Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) usually affects children under the age of five.
		Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae) is an important cause of meningitis and pneumonia in children, causing an estimated three million cases of serious disease and hundreds of thousands of deaths annually worldwide.
		The introduction of H. influenzae type b (Hib) vaccines into routine immunisation schedules in developed countries has been followed by a rapid decline in disease occurrence, but vaccine cost is a significant barrier to use in developing countries.

	Haemophilus Influenzae Type B
		Hib is caused by the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae type B, a gram negative bacteria, usually aerobic, which colonizes in the nasopharynx area of its host, specifically the nose, throat, and upper respiratory tracts.
		Influenzae can be isolated in the encapsulated or the unencapsulated forms; six capsular types have been identified and named a through f.
		All isolates from cerebrospinal fluid and blood are mostly of type b.

	Haemophilus Influenzae Type b Meningitis -
		Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) causes meningitis and other severe bacterial infections (for example, pneumonia, septic arthritis, epiglottitis, and sepsis), primarily among infants and children younger than 5 years of age.
		Because the Hib vaccine is used widely in the United States, the highest rate of reported invasive Hib disease is among infants younger than 6 months of age; the incidence among infants and children 1 through 4 years of age is much lower than among infants younger than 1 year of age.
		If it is necessary to change the type of vaccine, three doses of any combination constitute the primary series.

		Haemophilus influenzae type b, sometimes called H. flu, is the lethal strain of bacteria that is responsible for the majority of cases of childhood meningitis, pneumonia, septic arthritis, pericarditis, and epiglottitis.
		Finally, after substantial clinical studies in the United States and Finland, the Food and Drug Administration in October of last year approved an H influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine for use in infants.

		Given according to a specific schedule, these vaccinations protect against hepatitis B; diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough) (DTP); measles, mumps, rubella (German measles); varicella (chickenpox); polio; pneumococcus; and Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib disease, a major cause of spinal meningitis) and, in some states, hepatitis A.
		Patients who are allergic to antibiotics such as gentamicin sulfate, streptomycin sulfate, or other amino glycosides should check with their doctors before the taking influenza vaccine, as some influenza vaccines contain small amounts of these drugs.
		Also, some vaccines, including those for influenza, measles, and mumps, are grown in the laboratory in fluids of chick embryos, and should not be given to children who are allergic to eggs.
