[Haemophilus influenzae and genital infection].

We report nine cases of H. influenzae genital infections in women. Six patients had a total of 7 episodes of Bartholin glands abscess. One patient developed a post-caesarean endomyometritis on the 16th post-delivery day. The remaining patient developed an amniotic fluid infection in the 32nd week of pregnancy. All the nine H. influenzae strains were sensitive to ampicillin. We assess the rising importance of H. influenzae as an etiologic agent of female genital tract infections.
