Haemophilus influenza
<bacteria> A gram-negative bacteria that is a common cause for epiglottitis, meningitis, conjunctivitis, sepsis and respiratory infections.

Haemophilus influenza type b is a gram-negative bacteria that is responsible for a significant percentage of bacterial sepsis (blood-borne infection) cases in infants under 4 months of age (pneumonia, epiglottitis, sepsis, septic arthritis, cellulitis). There is a new vaccination available to protect against this common infant pathogen (HIB vaccine, haemophilus influenza b vaccine).
