Abstract
Invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) infection can be prevented by Hib vaccination but it has not been carried out routinely in our country. We present two cases of meningitis and epiglottitis due to Hib in order to emphasize the situation of invasive Hib infection and its necessary for inclusion to routine immunization program.
Özet
Invaziv Haemophilus influenzas tip b (Hib) enfeksiyonları Hib aşısı ile engellenebilmektedir, fakat ülkemizde rutin aşılama programında yoktur. Hib'e bağlı menenjit ve epiglottitli 2 olgu sunarak ülkemizde de invaziv Hib enfeksiyonlarının görüldüğü ve rutin aşılama programına alınması gerekliliğini vurgulamak istiyoruz.
