Abstract
A healthy 51 yr old [human] male developed multiarticular infectious arthritis due to H. influenzae, a rare cause of infectious arthritis in adults. Pre-disposing factors include chronic illness, underlying joint disease, joint trauma and respiratory infection. H. influenzae is frequently misidentified on Gram stain, being mistaken for gonococci or pneumococci. Infections due to H. influenzae may occur in normal adults. Aspects of immunity are discussed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
