چکیده
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a nationally reportable disease in Canada. Since 1985, the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control (LCDC) has enhanced IMD surveillance to correlate case-by-case information provided by the provinces and territories with detailed laboratory studies done at the National Laboratory for Bacteriology at LCDC. This report provides information on IMD from 1 January 1995 to 31 December 1996.
