5 Methods Tertiary care paediatric hospital, referral center for children from Northern Quebec Retrospective observational study of cases admitted Case definition: Infection with Hia isolated from normally sterile site Cases identified from laboratory records

6 Number of H. influenzae cases by type

7 Number of cases Invasive Hia by year and region Nunavik, patients not transferred James Bay Cree Nunavik

8 Number Invasive Hia by age group James Bay Cree Nunavik < 1 yr 1-2 yr 2-5 yr 5-9 yr Age group Mean age (m) (95% CI) Nunavik 25 (9-42) James Bay Cree 10 (4-16)

9 Number Invasive Hia: Clinical presentation by age group < Age Group Two patients had multifocal infections Meningitis Osteoarticular Pneumonia Septic shock

10 Invasive Hia: Age and admission data mean median range Age (months) N= Length of stay (days) PICU admission N=7 Duration (days) Mechanical ventilation N=6 Duration (days) % required PICU admission (all had meningitis) 32% required mechanical ventilation

11 Procedures * Meningitis (n=9): craniotomy for drainage of subdural empyema (1) EVD insertion (1) Osteoarticular (n=9): open exploration in OR (6) percutaneous aspiration (3) Pneumonia (n=3): insertion of pleural catheter (1) bronchoscopy with lavage (1) * Excluding insertion of central intravascular catheters

13 Outcome Osteoarticular infections: (n=9) Chronic osteomyelitis, resolved after 6 months treatment (1) Readmitted with PICC malfunction (3) No sequelae noted on short term follow up Pneumonia (n=3), septic shock (n=1):* No sequelae noted on short term follow up * 2 nd case with septic shock deceased, transferred from Nunavik for autopsy, not included in this series

14 Invasive Hia infections: Quebec

15 Provincial data: Methods All invasive H. influenzae infections reportable to Quebec public health Isolates referred to laboratoire de santé publique du Québec for typing Population data from Statistics Canada 2011 census and Institut de la statistique du Québec

17 Rate per 100,000 Number of cases Hia Northern Quebec Rates and Numbers by age group (yrs) < >

18 In Summary Invasive Haemophilus influenzae a infections are a significant health problem for aboriginal children living in Northern Quebec, as in rest of Canada's North Infection rates are approaching rates for H. influenzae b in these populations in the pre-vaccine era While awaiting a vaccine, antibiotic prophylaxis of close contacts may be considered Information of H. influenzae a carriage is needed
