Abstract |
Hemophilus influenzae type B is known for its predilection to produce infections in the cheeks of infants. Early recognition and aggressive intervention are essential to avoid potentially life-threatening sequelae. A case is presented in which a resistant strain obscured the diagnosis and prolonged the illness. Clinical manifestations and differential diagnosis of the disease are discussed.
