Background.
H.
influenzae remains an organism of a major public health challenge worldwide despite the availability of the Hib vaccine, particularly among children under 5 years.
Information on the current carriage status and antibiotic susceptibility is key on proper health-care provision.
Therefore, we conducted a study to determine H.
influenzae carriage rate and antibiotic susceptibility testing of the isolates among the children.
Methods.
This was a cross-sectional study conducted between January and May 2018, among clinically healthy children under five years attending Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Clinic in Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH).
We carried out standard microbiology methods to culture, isolate, and identify H.
influenzae, and then, we tested for their susceptibility to commonly used antibiotics following the CLSI standards.
Results.
Of the 248 participants included in the study, 116 (46.77%) were females and 132 (53.23%) males and 78 (31.45%) were below the age of 3 months.
Fifty one of the study participants had H.
influenzae in their nasopharynx, which represents 20.56% carriage (95% CI 15.49 to 25.63).
There was a general high susceptibility of the isolates to the antimicrobial agents commonly used.
There was 100% susceptibility to ciprofloxacin and imipenem antibiotic agents, though 6 (11.76%) and 4 (7.84%) of the isolates showed resistance to chloramphenicol and ampicillin, respectively.
Conclusion.
The high burden presented by H.
influenzae and the resultant impact on child health require much attention to prevention of infections associated with the organism.
A well-funded molecular study focusing on typing the isolates would determine the impact of the vaccine, given the carriage rates are still high.
