Case Report and Review,” Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases, vol. 1, no. 3, pp. 92-96, 1990. doi:10.1155/1990/691734http://hdl.handle.net/1880/108664https://doi.org/10.11575/PRISM/43957The first report of a case of ampicillin- and chloramphenicol-resistant Haemophilus influenzae type b invasive infection in Canada is described in a four-month-old male with meningitis. He was treated with cefotaxime 200 mg/kg/day divided every 6 h and dexamethasone 0.6 mg/kg/day divided every 6 h, eventually recovering after a complicated course. Follow-up at 21 months showed mild to moderate global developmental delay. While chloramphenicol resistance is rare in North America, a case of meningitis initially unresponsive to ampicillin and chloramphenicol must be considered suspect for resistance. Third generation cephalosporins should be used for resistant cases.Journal Article2018-09-27enCopyright © 1990 Hindawi Publishing Corporation.
