ABSTRACT
Some techniques of detection of Hib were compared, including classic techniques such as bacterial culture and modern techniques such as PCR method. The results were as follows: 21% (+) culture with Hib compared to the total of clinically diagnosed cases, Hib-latex agglutination with 95% sensitivity and 99.6% specificity, counter immunophoresis assay to detect Hib by 97% sensitivity and 100% specificity. PCR increased the number of positive cases of Hib meningitis by 42.8% compared to culture alone. Blood culture gave a highly significant value to diagnose (51% Hib-possitive culture)
