title: Non-Type b Haemophilus influenzae Septic Arthritis in Children.
abstract: Invasive disease caused by non-type b Haemophilus influenzae serotypes has been increasingly reported. Although to date it has been a rarely described cause of septic arthritis, we present 10 cases of non-type b H influenzae septic arthritis in children seen in a tertiary care center that serves a large Native American population.
