[Haemophilus infection in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients].
Seventy sputum specimens from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (C.O.P.D.) with secondary infection patients and 50 sputum specimens from C.O.P.D. patients without infection were cultured on blood agar plate, eosine-methylene blue agar plate, chocolate agar plate and selective medium chocolate agar plate. Haemophilus species was isolated from 20 specimens from C.O.P.D. with secondary infection patients. The isolation rate was 28.5%. Eight strains could produced beta-lactamase and were resistant to ampicillin (40%). One strain was resistant to ampicillin though without beta-lactamase production.
