How does a doctor know that it's Haemophilus influenzae?
Your child's doctor may diagnose the illness based on an examination and a medical history. Specific tests will depend on the location of the infection. In some cases, your doctor may take:
- a culture of fluid from the eye, ear, throat or spinal fluid
- chest or neck x-ray
- blood tests
