Abstract

Since the implementation of conjugate Haemophilus influenzae serotype b (Hib) vaccine, the rate of infections caused by Hib has dramatically decreased, and the proportion of infections caused by non-type b H. influenzae has increased. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is rare; however, it should be considered as a potential complication of bacterial meningitis. Herein, we report about a child who developed CVST after being diagnosed with H. influenzae serotype f meningitis.

b형 헤모필루스 인플루엔자균 예방접종이 시행된 이후 b형 헤모필루스 인플루엔자균에 의한 감염률은 급격히 감소하였으나, non-b형 헤모필루스 인플루엔자균에 의한 감염의 비율이 증가하는 추세이다. 대뇌 정맥동 혈전증은 드물지만 세균성 수막염의 합병증 중 하나로 발생할 수 있다. 대뇌 정맥동 혈전증이 동반된 f형 헤모필루스 인플루엔자균에 의한 뇌수막염 환자를 진단 및 치료하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
