About statistics:
This page presents a variety of statistics about Hemophilus influenzae B.
The term 'prevalence' of Hemophilus influenzae B usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Hemophilus influenzae B at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Hemophilus influenzae B refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Hemophilus influenzae B diagnosed each year.
Hence, these two statistics types can differ:
a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence,
but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
