Role of sulbactam/ampicillin and sultamicillin in the treatment of bacterial infections of the upper respiratory tract of children.
The combination of sulbactam and ampicillin is a safe and effective therapy for acute otitis media and acute epiglottitis in infants and children. Despite the lack of similar studies proving efficacy for other infections of the upper airway and certain adjacent structures, such as sinusitis, tonsillitis and cellulitis/abscess of the head and neck, this drug combination should also have a therapeutic role in the future for these conditions.

Epiglottitis due to nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae in a vaccinated child.
Once a prevalent disease, acute epiglottitis in children has become a rare entity. The introduction of the Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine has had a dramatic impact on the number of invasive infections caused by this organism. However, physicians must be aware that epiglottitis may result from vaccine failures or from infection with other pathogenic organisms. Vaccinated children with epiglottitis present in a similar fashion to those who are not vaccinated. We present a rare case of acute epiglottitis in a fully vaccinated child due to nontypeable H. influenzae and discuss the clinical presentation and management.
