Three cases, recently observed, of non-obstetrical gynaecological infections in adults caused by Haemophilus influenzae have prompted us to reconsider this rare pathology. Non-encapsulated strains of H. influenzae, particularly those belonging to biotype IV, might have special affinity and virulence for the genital tract. It seems, therefore, that such strains should systematically be looked for in samples collected from genital organs.
