A literature search traced existing information on meningococcal disease in Asia. Reviewed data describing the epidemiology of meningococcal disease in Asia are incomplete, due in part to absence of surveillance in many countries, poor bacterial detection methods and social and healthcare barriers to disease reporting. This suggests that meningococcal disease in some Asian countries may be unde...
OBJECTIVES To analyze the behavior of meningococcal disease in the Federal District, Brazil, from 2005 to 2011, and to assess the direct impact of the meningococcal serogroup C conjugate vaccine. METHODS A descriptive study of cases of meningococcal disease among residents of the Federal District. We included in the study confirmed cases of meningococcal disease reported to the local surveill...
مننژیت ویروسی را غالبأ مننژیت غیر عفونی می نامند. مننژیت ویروسی به وسیله ویروسهای مختلفی ایجاد می شود. بعضی از آنها از طریق عطسه، سرفه یا وضعیت های بهداشتی نامناسب به وجود می آیند. سایر موارد آن، از جمله ویروس کوکساکی در فاضلاب آلوده پیدا می شود. مننژیت ویروسی با شروع ناگهانی تب و علایم و نشانه های درگیری مننژ مانند سر درد و سفتی گردن مشخص می گردد. فتوفوبی نیز از نشانه های معمول آن بوده و ممکن ...
BACKGROUND In January 2005, a quadrivalent (serogroups A, C , Y, and W-135) meningococcal conjugate vaccine was licensed for use in adolescents. This report describes the epidemiologic features of meningococcal disease in the United States from January 1998 through December 2007, before and during implementation of adolescent quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccination. METHODS Data were...
OBJECTIVE Meningococcal disease continues to be a serious public health concern, being associated with high morbidity and mortality rates in many countries from Latin America. In addition to discussing recent changes in the epidemiology of meningococcal disease in the region, we also analyse the development and potential impact of new vaccines on the prevention of meningococcal disease. METHO...
BACKGROUND Although human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is an established risk factor for several bacterial infections, the association between HIV infection and meningococcal disease remains unclear. METHODS Expanded chart reviews were completed on persons with meningococcal disease and HIV infection reported from 2000 through 2008 from 9 US sites participating in an active populati...
To provide information useful for the design of a pilus vaccine effective for the prevention of both meningococcal and gonococcal disease, the electron microscopic morphology of meningococcal pili and the structural and antigenic relationships of meningococcal pili to gonococcal pili were investigated. Meningococcal pili were 4-6 nm in width, extended 500-6,000 nm from the organism surface, and...
BACKGROUND Survival from early meningococcal disease might be improved if general practitioners followed guidelines by immediately administering parenteral antibiotics (before hospital referral). METHODS Structured telephone interviews with 20 GPs who had previously treated meningococcal cases. RESULTS General practitioners knew guideline recommendations for early management of meningococca...
Neisseria meningitidis is an important cause of bacterial meningitis, particularly in infants over three months old and in teenagers. The relative importance of meningococcal disease over invasive Haemophilus influenzae disease has increased following the introduction ofHib capsular vaccines in 1990. In about one fifth of infections with Neisseria meningitidis the organism causes a predominantl...
The Scottish Meningococcus and Pneumococcus Reference Laboratory provides a national service for the laboratory confirmation of meningococcal and pneumococcal disease in Scotland. The main tests used for the laboratory confirmation of meningococcal disease are culture, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), antibody testing, and more recently DNA sequencing. This paper describes the automation of...
