From January 1971 until the end of 1989, 94 infants suffering from meningitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae were treated in the Department of Pediatrics of the University of Leipzig. The anamnestic data, signs and symptoms, laboratory findings, the courses and final results of treatment are described. 88 children survived; in eight of them neurological or mental sequelae were found on discharge. Generally, a certain stagnation regarding treatment results is observed over the observation period. Therefore vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae type B should be encouraged.
