Demonstration of non-capsulated Haemophilus influenzae in the tissues of the respiratory tract in atopic and non-atopic subjects by means of an immunofluroescence technique.
The use of an immunofluorescence method for demonstration of non-capsulated H. influenzae colonization and penetration in the tissues of the respiratory tract seems to be a useful and convenient laboratory method. However, in in the tissues of the lower respiratory tract H. influenzae in our materials could not be demonstrated.
