Surveillance for Neisseria meningitidis Disease Activity and Transmission Using Information Technology
BACKGROUND While formal reporting, surveillance, and response structures remain essential to protecting public health, a new generation of freely accessible, online, and real-time informatics tools for disease tracking are expanding the ability to raise earlier public awareness of emerging disease threats. The rationale for this study is to test the hypothesis that the HealthMap informatics too...

متن کاملNeisseria meningitidis Endotoxin and Capsule Transmission by Transplantation
To the Editor: Donor organs for transplantation are in extremely short supply. The increased number of patients with advanced liver disease requiring transplantation has resulted in the expansion of selection criteria for potential donors. Previously unacceptable or marginally acceptable donors, such as those who die from bacterial meningitis, are now donor candidates (1). Several case reports ...
متن کاملEvidence for indirect nosocomial transmission of Neisseria meningitidis resulting in two cases of invasive meningococcal disease.
Nosocomial transmission of Neisseria meningitidis has only rarely been reported. Here, we present a significant spatiotemporal association of two cases of invasive meningococcal disease identified by retrospective cluster analysis with the program SaTScan. The most likely epidemiological link was simultaneous hospitalization, resulting in indirect nosocomial transmission.
متن کاملHousehold transmission of Neisseria meningitidis in the meningitis belt
The epidemiology of Neisseria meningitidis is dynamic, with risk of meningococcal disease varying widely by region and depending on a confluence of host, organism, and environmental factors. Because transmission of N meningitidis results mainly in asymptomatic carriage, evaluation of oropharyngeal carriage can be helpful to understand the epidemiology and transmission of N meningitidis and, in ...
