Sphenoid Sinusitis with Haemophilus influenzae Septicemia / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

Haemophilus influenzae grows both aerobically and anaerobically and is an exclusively human pathogen. We present a case of septicemia originating from unilateral sphenoid sinusitis caused by non-typeable H. influenzae. No reports of sinusitis presenting as septicemia in a healthy young immunocompetent adult in South Korea have previously been published.
