What Is Type A Flu?
3. Type B Flu
There are some distinct differences between type B flu and type A flu. Perhaps the main difference is that type B flu is not found in other animals; only humans can be infected by it. Type B flu is also not going to be responsible for any pandemics. When it does infect somebody, the symptoms are also likely to be milder than with the type A virus.
Although type B flu tends to be mild and is unlikely to cause any real harm, it can be serious for some people. With that in mind, it is always best to not take the disease too lightly and to keep an eye on vulnerable patients.
