“…Moreover, tire fact that four of these strains were beta-tactamase producing raises the question whether this biotype is a reservoir of plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance, as outlined in previous studies (22,28,29 Haemophilus parainfluenzae biotype II remains to be determined. Although it is not firmly established, these organisms appear to be involved in certain infectious process (13,30). A role for Haemophilus parainfluenzae in non-gonococcal urethritis has been suggested (6,14,31,32), and Haemophilus influenzae biotype IV is considered to possibly be a pathogen in obstetrical and neonatal infections (15,(33)(34)(35) although its role as a major pathogen may be questionable (36,37,38).…”

A total of 3,598 genital specimens from men and women was cultured for Haemophilus spp. using a simple selective culture method. Two hundred and thirty three samples (6.5%) were positive for Haemophilus spp., 216 Haemophilus parainfluenzae and 28 Haemophilus influenzae strains being isolated. Biotyping demonstrated that Haemophilus parainfluenzae biotype II was dominant at all sites, especially the male urethra, comprising 59% of all Haemophilus strains isolated. On the other hand, Haemophilus influenzae biotype IV was isolated from only six patients and thus was not a major genital biotype. The respective proportions of the two Haemophilus spp. recovered from various mucosal sites led to the supposition that the genitourinary colonization originated either from the upper respiratory tract or the gastrointestinal tract.

Haemophilus influenzae has been reported on rare occasions as the cause of prostatitis and urinary tract infections. Here, we report a rare case of chronic prostatitis in a 52-year-old male with benign prostatic hypertrophy and discuss the possible underestimation of the true incidence of H. influenzae in genitourinary infections. This organism was identified only by its growth on chocolate agar, a medium that is not commonly used for urine cultures.

“…In 1987 H. parainfluenzae prostatitis in a 29year-old man with HIV infection and progressive generalized lymphadenopathy was described in the literature. 201 Since that time, an additional study provided much more information regarding prostatitis in these men. Among 209 HIVseropositive patients hospitalized over a 2-year period, bacterial prostatitis was diagnosed in 17 (8.1 o/o).…”

Bacterial infections, including those that cause infection in the healthy host as well as those that are more opportunistic, occur very commonly among persons infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Bacterial infections are a direct result of the severe humoral and cellular immune defects found in these patients. Epidemiologic factors such as intravenous drug use and stage of HIV infection may also play important roles. Pulmonary, bloodstream, gastrointestinal, central nervous system, skin and soft tissue, and catheter‐related infections are common, as are endocarditis, prostatitis, and others. Frequently reported pathogens are common organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and enteric gram‐negative pathogens, as well as less typical ones such as Listeria monocytogenes and Nocardia sp. The frequency of infection is specific to organ system and pathogen, often being many times higher than in immunocompetent hosts. Prompt recognition and aggressive therapy are required to reduce morbidity and mortality due to these infections.
