Abstract

Brazilian purpuric fever is a febrile hemorrhagic pediatric disease caused by Haemophilus influenzae biogroup aegyptius, a bacterium which was formerly associated with only self-limited purulent conjunctivitis. Here, we present draft genomes of strains from five Brazilian purpuric fever cases and one conjunctivitis case.
