      A field \(F\) is said to be \(n-\)Hilbert if there is only one anisotropic \((n+1)-\)fold Pfister form over \(F\) (up to isometry). When the characteristic of \(F\) is not two, the behavior of \(n-\)hilberticity under multiquadratic field extensions was studied by K. Kozioł [J. Algebra 118, 1-13 (1988; Zbl 0652.10016)]. He established the conditions under which the \(n-\)hilberticity is preserved. The present author carries over these results to the case of fields of characteristic two. For instance, the author shows that if \(F\) is \(n- \)Hilbert with trivial \(n-\)th radical, then a separable \(2-\)extension \(K\) of \(F\) is \(n-\)Hilbert if and only if the degree \([K:F]\) is finite.
