[Haemophilus cellulitis--a contribution to the differential diagnosis of cheek swelling in childhood].
The Haemophilus influenzae cellulitis in infancy is a disease with special features in relation to early clinical recognition and treatment. We describe three such cases seen in our hospital with Haemophilus influenzae as etiological agent. One patient died in consequence of a purulent meningitis recognized not in time and developing under antibiotic therapy not suitable for H. i. cellulitis. After review of the most important data from the literature suggestions were made for adequate diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in patients with H. i. cellulitis.
