The communicability of Haemophilus influenzae type b has recently been shown to be comparable to that of Neisseria meningitidis.1,2 The secondary attack rate of H influenzae type b disease is approximately 2% in young contacts of an index case, an observation that has stimulated investigators to attempt to identify effective chemoprophylactic regimens. Elsewhere in this issue are two studies reporting successful use of rifampin in eradicating H influenzae type b from the pharynx of infants and children who were exposed to patients with the disease.3,4 Other regimens have not been effective.5,6 The purpose of this brief communication is to report our results with three antimicrobial agents that were given in an attempt to eliminate pharyngeal carriage of H influenzae type b in infants and children.

The effectiveness of amplification for infants and children can be mediated by how much the child uses the device. Existing research suggests that establishing hearing aid use can be challenging. A wide range of factors can influence hearing aid use in children, including the child's age, degree of hearing loss, and socioeconomic status. Audiological interventions, including using validated prescriptive approaches and verification, performing on-going training and orientation, and communicating with caregivers about hearing aid use can also increase hearing aid use by infants and children. Case examples are used to highlight the factors that influence hearing aid use. Potential management strategies and future research needs are also discussed.
