Meningococcus carrier rates and meningitis incidence.
The purpose of this paper is to review certain general features of the epidemiology of meningococcus meningitis in the light of a survey of meningococcus carriage which was carried on continuously from December, 1941, to May, 1945, with a final carrier test in December, 1946. This was part of a survey including hemolytic streptococci, Corynibacterium diphtheriae and Hemophilus influenzae, which...
متن کاملMeningococcus B
Between 13 different serogroups of N. meningitidis, identified according to the capsular polysaccharide’s antigenic structure, only 5 (A, B, C, W-135 and Y) are clinically relevant and responsible for 90% cases of meningococcal invasive disease. In Italy, serogroup B is the principal cause of invasive meningococcal disease [1]. There are two types of tetravalent vaccines for serogroups A, C, W-...
متن کاملStudies on Meningococcus Infection
Precipitin tests, carried out on the cerebrospinal fluid from cases of meningococcal meningitis with monovalent sera, demonstrate the presence in that fluid of type-specific precipitinogens of the meningococcus. Negative results are secured when the spinal fluid is obtained after the commencement of intrathecal serum treatment and also occasionally when the numbers of infecting organisms are ve...
متن کاملThe meningococcus tamed?
Serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis is a frequent cause of invasive meningococcal disease, yet there are no effective vaccines suitable for routine immunisation. Limited efficacy has been shown with meningococcal outer membrane vacccines in children 4 years and older. Here we review the status of current research and consider new approaches to development of meningococcal serogroup B vaccines.

A decision to introduce the Novartis vaccine, which is not really a meningococcus B but actually a broader, generic meningococcal vaccine, and to give it to adolescents and young adults who have the highest carriage rates could have been ...
