The spectrum of severe Haemophilus influenzae type b disease exclusive of meningitis includes: epiglottitis, pneumonia, arthritis, septicemia, cellulitis and pericarditis. The results of a 7 year-epidemiologic study (Jan 1980 to Dec 1986) performed in 2 French departments are reported. Sixty-nine cases were detected, representing a yearly rate of 9/100,000 children aged 0 to 4 years. The real incidence is probably higher and was estimated as 11/100,000. In all of France, it corresponds to 382 annual cases and, more specifically to 60 to 70 annual cases of epiglottitis. No deaths were recorded and only 2 cases with minor sequelae were documented in this series. These results, as compared with those of previous studies, show that the incidence is lower than that in other countries, especially with regard to epiglottitis which is more frequent in North America and in Scandinavian countries.
