Nursing Standard, 1998
This article discusses meningococcal disease and outlines the role of the nurse in treating patients who may suffer from meningitis, one of the illnesses caused by meningococcal disease. It goes on to discuss how nurses can support the relatives of these patients.

Influenza A and meningococcal disease
Lancet, The, 1991There are several anecdotal accounts of the association between outbreaks of influenza and meningococcal disease. The exceptional increase in the number of cases of meningococcal infection 2 weeks after an influenza A outbreak in England and Wales during November and December, 1989, provided an opportunity to investigate the relation between the two ...

Meningococcal disease and travel
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2003Meningococcal disease continues to be a worldwide problem. This review examines the impact meningococcal disease has on international travel and vice versa the impact international travel has on the intercontinental spread of meningococci. The risk of meningococcal disease to the endemic population differs from that of travellers.

Meningococcal carriage, meningococcal disease and vaccination
Journal of Infection, 1988Group A meningococcal carriage rates were determined 6 months before and 6 and 18 months after a mass vaccination campaign with a combined group A and group C meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine in a rural area of The Gambia. During the first pre-vaccination survey, performed during an outbreak of meningococcal disease, the carriage rate was high (16%)

Meningococcal disease: The advances and challenges of meningococcal disease prevention
Human Vaccines, 2011Vaccination as a means to prevent meningococcal disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis is critical given the abrupt onset and rapid progression of this disease. Five serogroups--A, B, C, W-135, and Y--are responsible for the majority of cases. In developed countries, infants have the greatest risk of disease, with a smaller secondary peak observed in

Meningococcal disease in Italy
Journal of Infection, 1989In 1985, nationwide surveillance of meningococcal disease aimed at establishing appropriate guidelines for prophylaxis started in Italy. The incidence of disease was 1.1/100,000 in 1985 and 0.6/100,000 in 1987. This decreasing trend was particularly evident among military recruits (from 17.3/100,000 in 1985 to 5/100,000 in 1987), reflecting the use of ...

Science, 2003
The human-specific bacterial pathogen Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of sepsis and/or meningitis. The pili of N. meningitidis interact with CD46, a human cell-surface protein involved in regulation of complement activation.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1966
Within the last two years there have been many isolations of sulfonamide-resistant meningococci from military and civilian populations. This probably reflects the current prevalence of groups B and C. There is evidence that these serotypes had varying degrees of resistance more than 20 years ago.

PREVENTION OF MENINGOCOCCAL DISEASE
Fetal and Pediatric Pathology, 2006Neisseria meningitidis is the most common cause of meningitis in children aged 2-18 with a mortality rate ranging from 4-40% and substantial morbidity in 11-19% of survivors. Of the four serogroups ofNeisseria meningitidis, serogroups B and C are the most common causes in the United States, with serogroup C causing most disease among adolescents, a ...

Meningococcal disease in Africa
Annals of Tropical Medicine And Parasitology, 1997Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) is responsible for endemic and meningococcal disease in Africa. Meningococci are placed into 12 serogroups based on their capsular polysaccharide antigens. Group-B meningococci are responsible for sporadic endemic disease.
