Meningococcal Disease in South Africa, 1999–2002

1 Feb 2007

Abstract excerpt

We describe the epidemiology of invasive meningococcal disease in South Africa from August 1999 through July 2002, as reported to a laboratory-based surveillance system. Neisseria meningitidis isolates were further characterized. In total, 854 cases of laboratory-confirmed disease were reported, with an annual incidence rate of 0.64/100,000 population. Incidence was highest in infants < 1 year of age. Serogroup B...
