Haemophilus influenzae implicated in puerperal infection.
We have described two cases of Haemophilus influenzae isolation, one from a patient with chorioamnionitis and one from a patient with bacteremia and endomyometritis. The first patient responded to cefoxitin and delivery, while the second patient failed to improve satisfactorily with clindamycin and tobramycin therapy, but responded to ampicillin.
