Nasopharyngeal carriage of pneumococci in Gambian children and in their families

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1996
Nasopharyngeal carriage of pneumococci is prevalent among children in developing countries but little is known about the relationship of nasopharyngeal carriage to invasive disease or about the way in which pneumococci spread within households.To determine the prevalence of nasopharyngeal carriage in healthy and sick Gambian children and to investigate

Effect of Spiramycin on the Nasopharyngeal Carriage of Neisseria meningitidis

Chemotherapy, 2009
Nine doses of oral spiramycin were administered to 59 adult healthy nasopharyngeal carriers of meningococci: a 2-gramme loading dose followed by 1 g every 12 h for 4 days. There was a reduction in carriage of 85 and 59%, respectively, on the 2nd and 12th post-treatment day.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SEXES IN THE NASOPHARYNGEAL CARRIAGE OF NEISSERIA MENINGITIDIS

American Journal of Epidemiology, 1977
Nasopharyngeal carriage of Neisseria meningitidis was investigated among male and female students sharing similar occupational and living environments at the U.S. Naval Hospital Corps School, Great Lakes, Illinois, in 1972-1973. When students beginning the study without meningococcal carriage were evaluated, meningococcal acquisition, weekly carrier ...

Nasopharyngeal carriage of meningococcus and meningococcal meningitis in Sokoto, Nigeria

Acta Paediatrica, 1999
In an attempt to determine the epidemiology of meningococcal diseases in Sokoto, Nigeria, nasopharyngeal carriage of meningococcus was studied among the groups at the greatest risk of the disease, i.e. children and young adults. Of 726 subjects sampled, 45 (6.2%) carried meningococcus. Sixteen (35.6%) of the 45 isolates belonged to serogroup B.
