Spontaneous peritonitis due to Hemophilus influenzae in an adult

C G Stephens et al. Gastroenterology. 1979 Nov.

Abstract

Hemophilus influenzae, usually pathogenic in the pediatric population, caused septicemia and peritonitis in the cirrhotic adult described here. Susceptibility to this unusual adult pathogen was perhaps related to liver disease or corticosteroid treatment. This organism has not previously been associated with the syndrome of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in an adult.
