title: [Type B Haemophilus influenzae infections. Experience at the Pediatric Hospital of Luxembourg].
abstract: We have made a retrospective study of invasive Hib infections which have occurred in the Children's Hospital since 1980 to the end of July 1994; and we have been able to notice that since the introduction of vaccination against Hib, especially since it is free, the incidence of invasive Hib infections in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is in great decline.
