TI  - Meningitis in a School-Aged Child due to Haemophilus influenzae Type E during the 
      Post-Conjugate Vaccine Era-Monroe County, NY, 2011.

AB  - In late October 2011, the Monroe County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) was 
      notified of a suspected case of meningitis in a 9-year old girl from Monroe 
      County, NY. Laboratory testing at the New York State Department of Health 
      (NYSDOH) Wadsworth Center confirmed the identification of Haemophilus influenzae 
      serotype e (Hie) isolated from the patient's cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using 
      real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The universal immunization of 
      infants with conjugate H. influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine has significantly 
      reduced the incidence of invasive Hib disease, including meningitis, one of the 
      most serious complications for infected children. Not surprisingly, as the 
      epidemiology of invasive H. influenzae continues to change, non-Hib serotypes 
      will likely become more common. The findings reported here underscore the 
      importance for clinicians, public health officials, and laboratory staff to 
      consider non-Hib pathogens in pediatric cases of meningitis, especially when 
      initial investigations are inconclusive.
