Haemophilus influenzae

 

For infections with beta-lactamase producing H. influenzae: cefuroxime, cefotaxime, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, amoxicillin/clavulanate, or azithromycin is recommended. Cefotaxime or ceftriaxone is drug of choice for CNS infections.

At LPCH, 77% (37/48) of H. influenzae are ampicillin susceptible.

  • (a) Consult Peds ID if Caspofungin being considered for treatment.
  • (b) Data from isolate totals <10 may be statistically unreliable.
  • (c) Species other than C. krusei are 100% susceptible; C. krusei is intrinsically resistant to fluconazole.

Drug cost:

Please chose the appropriate antibiotic based on best spectrum of coverage and lowest cost.

Costs are reflective of 1 day of therapy based on adult dosing and include drug levels and reformulations.
$ = $0-20
$$ = $20-50
