Molecular detection of Haemophilus influenzae type b and non-typeable strains by PCR in infants under one year hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia in Peru, 2010–2012
These findings do not represent the current epidemiology; rather, they delineate an early post-introduction baseline for Hib/NTHi in Peruvian infants with CAP. Our findings contribute to the timeline of <i>H. influenzae</i> epidemiology in Peru, supports evaluations of vaccine impact over time, and underscores the need for sustained molecular surveillance and on-schedule Hib vaccination.
