Souraski--Tel Aviv Medical Center, Dana Children's Hospital.

An 18-month-old male previously vaccinated with 4 doses of HbOC

developed meningitis caused by Hemophilus influenzae type B.

Immunological status was normal and antibody titer to Hemophilus

influenzae type b was in the normal range for immunized children.

Meningitis due to this organism should be considered even in children

who are fully vaccinated.
