Abstract
• The unusual occurrence of endophthalmitis associated with Haemophilus influenzae type b bacteremia and meningitis was confirmed in three young children during a five-year period. In contrast to bacterial endophthalmitis attributed to other microorganisms, these three infections resolved completely within a few days with conventional antimicrobial therapy. Endophthalmitis is but one of the apparently increasing number of unusual complications that may be observed as a result of H influenzae type b bacteremia.
