Prospective Study of a Serogroup XNeisseria meningitidisOutbreak in Northern Ghana

1 Mar 2002

Abstract excerpt

After an epidemic of serogroup A meningococcal meningitis in northern Ghana, a gradual disappearance of the epidemic strain was observed in a series of five 6-month carriage surveys of 37 randomly selected households. As serogroup A Neisseria meningitidis carriage decreased, an epidemic of serogroup X meningococcal carriage occurred, which reached 18% (53/298) of the people sampled during the dry season of 2000,...
