In my recent article in Pediatrics,1 which reviewed meningitis due to Haemophilus influenzae other than type b, the statement is made that no cases of meningitis due to type c or d had been reported until that time. There have been two reports of type d meningitis published subsequent to that article, and a previously mentioned case has been brought to my attention. The above report by Drs Bromberg and Peter represents the first described case of meningitis in a child due to H influenzae type d.
