    Summary

    Two cases show Haemophilus influenzae causing serious infections: chorioamnionitis and bacteremia. Treatment varied, with ampicillin effective in one severe case.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Haemophilus influenzae is a pathogen that can cause severe maternal and neonatal infections.
    • Chorioamnionitis and endomyometritis are serious obstetric infections.
    • Bacteremia indicates systemic infection.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of invasive Haemophilus influenzae infections in obstetric patients are presented.
    • Case 1: Chorioamnionitis treated successfully with cefoxitin and delivery.
    • Case 2: Bacteremia and endomyometritis initially treated with clindamycin and tobramycin, later responding to ampicillin.

    Findings:

    • Haemophilus influenzae can be a causative agent in obstetric infections like chorioamnionitis and endomyometritis.
    • Treatment outcomes for invasive Haemophilus influenzae infections can vary.
    • Ampicillin demonstrated efficacy in a case of severe bacteremia and endomyometritis.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering Haemophilus influenzae in obstetric infections.
    • Suggests potential variability in antibiotic susceptibility and treatment response.
    • Emphasizes the need for tailored antibiotic selection in invasive Haemophilus influenzae infections.
