Kurzfassung:
We read with interest the report by Ginsburg and associates (Pediatrics 64:283, 1979) on Haemophilus influenzae pneumonia. Viruses unquestionably cause the vast majority of pneumonias in children. Although the pneumococcus most certainly remains the most common cause of bacterial pneumonia, H influenzae type b should no longer be considered a rare or uncommon etiology. We have previously noted that H influenzae type b was the single most common bacteria isolated from blood, CSF, empyema fluid, or lung aspirates in a group of children with pneumonia over a five-year period in Hawaii.1
