AB  - This study investigated the causes of invasive bacterial infections in children 
      aged <15 years in St Petersburg, Russia, during 2001-2003, using culture and 
      antigen detection methods (rapid antigen latex agglutination (RAL)) for normally 
      sterile body fluids. A pathogen was detected in 90 cases (culture 50, RAL 40). 
      Neisseria meningitidis was the most common pathogen (66%), followed by 
      Haemophilus influenzae (19%) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (16%). Meningitis was 
      the main clinical diagnosis (68/90, 76%), with N. meningitidis serogroup B, H. 
      influenzae type b (Hib), and S. pneumoniae serogroup 1 being the most common 
      isolates. Hib was less prevalent in St Petersburg than it was in industrialised 
      countries before the introduction of Hib vaccinations.
