title: [Haemophilus infection in nonspecific inflammatory lung diseases].
abstract: Hemophilic infection incidence rate, characteristics and criteria of early detection were studied in 393 patients with nonspecific pulmonary diseases. H. influenzae represented the prevalent pathogenic agent in 17% of the cases: in 11% of acute pneumonias (276 patients) and 30% of chronic bronchitis exacerbations (117 patients). Hemophilic pneumonias were a more frequent finding in patients over 40 years of age, proved secondary, manifested usually interstitial inflammation of the lung tissue, were prone to interlobitis complication and protracted course. Purulent endobronchial inflammation used to be a typical sign of hemophilic aggravation of chronic bronchitis.
