The authors describe a child whose H. influenzae menin gitis persisted despite relatively high-dose ampicillin ther apy. They raise the question whether longterm morbidity from H. influenzae meningitis may be greater with ampicil lin than with the older chloramphenicol-penicillin treatment. Two experts were asked to discuss this question in the light of this case report. Their comments follow the main paper.
