    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
    • Bacteriology

    Background:

    • Buccal cellulitis is a significant infection in young children.
    • Hemophilus influenzae type b (HIb) is a primary causative agent.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical characteristics of HIb-induced buccal cellulitis.
    • To evaluate treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 72 cases over 10 years.
    • Clinical data analysis including demographics, symptoms, and complications.
    • Microbiological analysis of isolates and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • 72 cases of buccal cellulitis caused by HIb in children aged 3 months to 3 years.

  • Associated conditions included otitis media (68%) and bacteremia (86%).
  • Ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and cephamandole showed effectiveness, with combination therapy or chloramphenicol alone leading to shorter fever duration.

    • Conclusions:

    • HIb is a common cause of buccal cellulitis in young children, frequently co-occurring with otitis media and bacteremia.
    • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy are crucial.
    • Combination antibiotic therapy or chloramphenicol alone may offer faster resolution of fever.
