title: [The role of Haemophilus influenzae in pyoinflammatory diseases of the ear and paranasal sinuses].
abstract: We studied the role of Haemophilus influenzae in ENT inflammation in children, in purulent otitis and rhinosinusitis in particular, basing on the results of microbiological investigations of microflora. Examination of 59 patients aged 3 months to 17 years (39 patients with otitis media purulenta and 20 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis) has established that main pathogens in these diseases are streptococci, H. influenzae (HI) and M. catarrhalis. HI is a frequent associated microorganism in children of Uzbekistan. It occurs in 22% patients with acute otitis media purulenta and in 25% patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
