Fulminant neonatal septicemia due to Hemophilus parainfluenzae. 1984

K T Nakamura, and D W Beal, and F P Koontz, and E F Bell

A woman with premature rupture of membranes and chorioamnionitis gave birth to a 0.73-kg infant at 28 weeks' gestation. The infant died of fulminant septicemia caused by Hemophilus parainfluenzae. This organism should be recognized as a potential cause of chorioamnionitis and neonatal septicemia.
