This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 02e. Haemophilus Influenzae, Encapsulated = localized infections may cause Bacterial pink eye, HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE bug Capsule, Epidemiology Classically a disease of children (3 months to 5 yrs old), Antibiotics Bug has lots of beta lactamase, Capsule although Most people are infected with nonencapsulated strains, HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE bug Gram Negative, HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE presentation Encapsulated = localized infections, Culture Chocolate Agar, Classically a disease of children (3 months to 5 yrs old) Vaccine drastically reduced this, Type B is Most virulent, HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE key terms HIB, Extracellular, Children, capsule, Epiglotitis, Chocolte Agar, Endotoxin, Other severe non respiratory manifestations incl Menigitis, HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE bug IgA protease, Pili allow Adherence, HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE diagnosis Gram stain (Tiny pleomorphic Gram(-) bacilli), HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE bug Produces Endotoxin, IgA protease allow Adherence, Capsule although Not as important as in S. Pneumonia, Encapsulated = localized infections may look like other diseases Moraxella, HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE Epidemiology
