“…Invasive H. influenzae infections in Western Europe. The mean annual incidence of Hib meningitis among children ,5 years of age in Europe was 23/100,000 before Hib vaccination was implemented (101). By 2005, all countries in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) had introduced Hib vaccine (Table 2).…”

While Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) is well described in the literature to cause osteomyelitis, nontypeable H. influenzae has not. In areas where vaccination is routine, the prevalence of Hib has declined, whereas, in contrast, the prevalence of non-typeable H. influenza has increased. Generally, the non-typeable strains are less invasive but can access the vascular system by transmural migration through epithelial tight junctions or by an independent intercellular mechanism. Herein, we described a case of a 79-year-old man with the first case of non-typeable H. influenzae causing cervical osteomyelitis with associated bacteremia in an elderly adult.

“…H. parainfluenzae is a Gram-negative rod in the HACEK group and is frequently observed in the human oral cavity and respiratory, urogenital and gastrointestinal tracts. It can be responsible for a broad spectrum of serious infections such as endocarditis, bacteremia, and pneumonia 4 . However, osteomyelitis due to H. parainfluenzae is an extremely rare entity, with only five cases reported in the medical literature 5 - 8 (table 1 ).…”

Haemophilus parainfluenzae is a rare cause of bone and joint infections. We report a case of calcaneal osteomyelitis due to this microorganism with a review of all published. A 23-year-old woman presented with a 1-month history of pain and inflammation in the calcaneus area. Osteomyelitis was suspected at this location based on computed tomography images. Culture of six bone biopsies and surrounding tissue resulted in the isolation of H. parainfluenzae. Surgical drainage and debridement was performed, and antibiotic treatment was prescribed, resolving the infection.
