Hemophilus influenzae Meningitis

John V. Bennett M.D.1, Joseph B. McCormick M.D.1, and Roger A. Feldman M.D.1

1 Bacterial Diseases Branch, Bureau of Epidemiology, Center for Disease Control, Bethesda, Maryland

In a recently published article, "Bacterial Meningitis: A Symposium" (Pediatrics, 52:586, 1973), it was stated "The Center for Disease Control estimates that, in the United States, there are 29,000 cases of H. influenzae (meningitis) each year. . ." This number was released in October 1970 at a meeting at NIAID, and was an extrapolation made from cases that occurred in eight community hospitals in the United States in the four-month period from January to April 1970; this represented one of the few data sources available at that time by which the incidence of the disease could be estimated.
