1. Haemophilus influenzae – typing, epidemiology and beta-lactam resistance
Sammanfattning : Haemophilus influenzae is a common cause of respiratory tract infections such as acute otitis media (AOM), exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia. The species is subdivided into encapsulated and non-encapsulated strains, designated type a-f and nontypeable H. influenzae (NTHi), respectively. LÄS MER
2. Vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae type b in Sweden : Aspects of epidemiology, economy and the process of introduction
Sammanfattning : Since 1992-1993 vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) with conjugated vaccines is included in the general Swedish childhood vaccination programme. In this thesis the introduction of Hib vaccination has been evaluated.The epidemiology and clinical spectrum of invasive H. LÄS MER
3. Genetic organization of encapsulated and non-encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae strains. Analysis of the glpTQ and 23S rRNA operons
Sammanfattning : Encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and non-encapsulated H. influenzae (NTHi) are important pathogens causing invasive and mucosal infections in children. A 42 kDa surface-exposed lipoprotein, protein D, has been found to be a potential virulence factor of NTHi. LÄS MER
4. Invasive Haemophilus influenzae Infection and Breastfeeding : Aspects of epidemiology and immunology
Sammanfattning : Invasive Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) infection is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) has been implemented in many industrial countries during the 1990s with a dramatic decrease in mortality and morbidity due to Hib. LÄS MER
5. Haemophilus influenzae-induced acute otitis media. Aspects of virulence and protection in an animal model
Sammanfattning : Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common illness diagnosed during early childhood. One of the major etiologic agents is Haemophilus influenzae. Apart from AOM, this organism can cause a broad range of infectious diseases such as meningitis, epiglottitis, arthritis, and pneumonia. Despite the importance of H. LÄS MER
