Surveillance of invasive meningococcal disease in Queensland, 2002

Communicable Diseases Intelligence, 2003
During 2002, 124 cases of invasive meningococcal disease were notified in Queensland. This was similar to the previous year (n=128). Four (3.2%) of the cases died. Trends by age and serogroup were generally similar to previous years and were consistent with the overall patterns of this disease in Australia. However, an apparent increase in serogroup C,

Death or survival from invasive pneumococcal disease in Scotland: associations with serogroups and multilocus sequence types [PDF]

, 2011
We describe associations between death from invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and particular serogroups and sequence types (STs) determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) using data from Scotland.

Space-Time Cluster Analysis of Invasive Meningococcal Disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
Clusters are recognized when meningococcal cases of the same phenotypic strain (markers: serogroup, serotype, and subtype) occur in spatial and temporal proximity. The incidence of such clusters was compared to the incidence that would be expected by chance by using space-time nearest-neighbor analysis of 4,887 confirmed invasive meningococcal cases ...

Meningococcal disease in adolescents and young adults: a review of the rationale for prevention through vaccination

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2019
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) caused by Neisseria meningitidis is characterized by high mortality and morbidity. While IMD incidence peaks in both infants and adolescents/young adults, carriage rates are often highest in the latter age groups ...

Invasive Meningococcal Disease on the Workplaces: a systematic review.

Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2017
Background and aims of the work: Invasive Meningococcal Disease (IMD) represents a global health threat, and occupational settings have the potential to contribute to its spreading. Therefore, here we present the available evidences on the epidemiology of IMD on the workplaces.The following key words were used to explore PubMed: Neisseria meningitidis,
