Treatment of Haemophilus Infections
Cefotaxime and ceftriaxone eliminate respiratory carriage of H. influenzae, but other antibiotics used for systemic infection do not do so reliably. Thus, children with systemic infection who were not treated with cefotaxime or ceftriaxone should be given rifampin immediately after completing treatment and before resuming contact with other children.
