Hemophilus influenzae Meningitis at the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Boston, 1958 to 1973

Georges Peter M.D.1 and David H. Smith M.D.1

1 Division of Infectious Diseases, Children's Hospital Medical Center, and Department of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115

Three hundred ninety-seven children were admitted to the Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston between 1958 and 1973 with H. influenzae meningitis. The annual rate of admission and the percent of all cases of bacterial meningitis were not changed from that of the preceding decade. The age incidence was strikingly similar to that reported from this hospital for 1920 to 1932.
