Abstract

Three cases of ecchymotic cellulitis in 7 to 11 month old infants are reported. Haemophilus influenzae was isolated from blood in two cases. Ecchymotic cellulitis in infants should, in the first place, evoke an Haemophilus influenzae infection. Bacteremia being frequent in this condition, blood cultures should be performed.
