[Haemophilus influenzae meningitis in a child with complete immunisation].
Invasive Haemophilus influenzae b (Hib) diseases are rarely observed in children with vaccination against Hib. Immunisation of infants against Hib was introduced in the Czech Republic in 2001. The first case of meningitis with isolation of Hib in child immunised with Hib vaccine since starting routine vaccination is described. Clinical course of meningitis was mild and was identical with previously manifestation of Hib meningitis.
