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 ...

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.

Albumin in meningococcal disease
Hospital Medicine, 2000The management of acute meningococcal disease (MD) exemplifies what is best and worst about modern paediatric intensive care. The best because, in the face of well-staffed teams with centralized experience, survival has improved dramatically (clinical scoring systems such as the Glasgow Meningococcal Septicaemia Prognostic Score indicate that for the ...

Paediatrics and Child Health, 2011Abstract Despite introduction of effective vaccines, meningococcal disease remains a life-threatening illness with significant mortality, morbidity and long term sequelae. Prompt recognition and early treatment with antibiotics and recognition and aggressive management of complications such as shock and raised intracranial pressure are imperative ...

Epidemiology of meningococcal disease
Hospital Medicine, 2002In the UK, serogroup A strains disappeared 50years ago, but in the 1990s, numbers of cases rose again to a 50-year high. Following the very successful introduction of conjugated meningitis C vaccines, effective meningitis B vaccines are now the highest priority.

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 ...

Prophylaxis for Meningococcal Disease
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1975THE PAST decade has been a tumultuous one for meningococcologists. The emergence and spread of sulfadiazine-resistant strains, which were first reported in 1963, ended a 20-year period in which control of the dreaded disease was possible with a brief, inexpensive chemoprophylactic regimen (sulfadiazine, 2 gm a day for two days). Intensive research over
