Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with meningitis and septicemia due to haemophilus influenzae type f in an immunocompetent child

초록

Since the implementation of conjugate Haemophilus influenzae serotype b (Hib) vaccine, the rate of infections caused by Hib has dramatically decreased, and the proportion of infections caused by non-type b H. influenzae has increased. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is rare; however, it should be considered as a potential complication of bacterial meningitis. Herein, we report about a child who developed CVST after being diagnosed with H. influenzae serotype f meningitis. © 2019 The Korean Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.
