Typeable strains of H.influenzae, characterized by their polysaccharide capsule antigen, cause diseases like meningitis, pneumonia, sepsis, and epiglottitis and are preventable by vaccines; non-typeable strains lack capsules and cause sinusitis, bronchitis, otitis media, and conjunctivitis, lacking vaccines.
H.influenzae'nin tip-belirlenebilir suşları, polisakkarit kapsül antijenine dayanarak menenjit, pnömoni, sepsis ve epiglottit gibi hastalıklara neden olur ve aşılarla korunabilir; tip-belirlenemeyen suşlar (kapsülsüz) sinüzit, bronşit, otitis media ve konjonktivite neden olur ve aşıları yoktur.
