乙型流感嗜血桿菌疫苗 Hiberix
Haemophilus influenzae Type B Vaccine (Hib)
乙型流感嗜血桿菌(Hib)是一種能引致嚴重侵入性感染的細菌，主要經由患者的鼻喉分泌物通過空氣傳播，亦可經由咳嗽、打噴嚏或近距離的面對面接觸而傳播。九成患者均為 5 歲以下的幼童，年齡較大的兒童受感染的機會較少。每二十個染病的兒童中，有一個會因而死亡。侵入性感染可導致多種嚴重疾病，如細菌性腦膜炎、肺炎、敗血症、中耳炎、關節炎、急性會厭炎，甚至死亡等。
腦膜炎可引起發燒、頭痛、頸部僵硬，並出現食慾不振、噁心、嘔吐、畏光、精神昏亂和嗜睡等徵狀。而其中會厭炎患者可能出現發燒、喉嚨痛、流口水、吞嚥痛楚、拒絕吞嚥，甚至呼吸困難等病徵。
注射時間
需注射共四針，分別於寶寶 2 個月、4 個月、6 個月及 12-15 個月大時注射，令體內產生有效抗體，免受細菌入侵。
乙型流感嗜血桿菌疫苗可結合其他多種疫苗為五合一無細胞混合疫苗，能大大減低疫苗注射的次數，更可減低寶寶注射後出現副作用及不適的機會，令家長免除不必要的擔心。疫苗採用無細胞配方，能有效預防寶寶感染「白喉」、「破傷風」、「百日咳」、「小兒痲痺」、「乙型流感嗜血桿菌」。
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is an infection that can cause severe invasive bacteria, particularly affecting young children. Mainly transmitted through direct contact with nose or throat secretion of an
infected person. 90% patients are children under 5 years old and older children have less chance of infection. One out of every 20 infected children dies. Invasive infection can cause a variety of serious diseases, the most common symptoms is meningitis where bacteria going into the blood often occur
simultaneously.
Meningitis can cause fever, headache, neck stiffness, and loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, mental symptoms like dizzy and lethargy. Epiglottitis may occur in patients with fever, sore throat, drooling, swallowing pain, refusing to swallow, and even breathing difficulties and other symptoms.
Injection schedule
injected four doses, respectively when baby is 2 months, 4 months, 6 months and 12-15 months old, so as to induce development of antibodies in the body and provide protection against bacterial infection.
Infanrix-IPV-Hib is an acellular combination vaccine that can effectively prevent five diseases:
diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type b. Infanrix-IPV- Hib can reduce the number of injections as well as the side effects.
