Abstract
Incidence of invasive disease due to H. influenzae serotype a (Hia) increased an average of 13% annually from 2002-2015. We described clinical characteristics and adverse clinical outcomes of U.S. invasive Hia cases detected through multi-state surveillance during 2011-2015. Medical record data were abstracted for cases reported in eight jurisdictions conducting active population- and laboratory-based surveillance for invasive Hia disease across the United States. Isolates from sterile sites were serotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Adverse clinical outcomes were defined as any possible complication of meningitis, bacteremic pneumonia, or bacteremia (including hearing loss, developmental delay, and speech delay, but excluding death), and were assessed at hospital discharge and one-year post-disease onset. During 2011-2015, 190 Hia cases were reported to the eight participating sites; 169 (88.9%) had data abstracted. Many patients were aged <5 years (42.6%) or ≥65 years (20.7%). Meningitis was the most common clinical presentation among <1 year olds (71.4%); bacteremic pneumonia was the most common presentation among persons aged ≥50 years (78.7%). Overall, 95.9% of patients were hospitalized: among those hospitaliz...Continue Reading
