Of the six typeable strains of this organism, type b is the most virulent, accounting for 95% of serious infections in children. Unexpectedly, in adults, nearly two thirds of isolates from blood and CSF were found to be nontypeable. The spectrum of clinical disease associated with type b and nontypeable strains is discussed. Effective immunization of infants is now in the planning stages.
在该微生物的六种可分型菌株中，b型菌株毒性最强，占儿童严重感染病例的95%。出乎意料的是，在成人中，从血液和脑脊液中分离出的菌株近三分之二无法分型。文中讨论了与b型和无法分型菌株相关的临床疾病谱。目前，针对婴儿的有效免疫接种正处于规划阶段。
