Epidemiology of meningococcal disease in southern Brazil from 1995 to 2003, and molecular characterization of Neisseria meningitidis using multilocus sequence typing

1 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiology of meningococcal disease (MD) in southern Brazil. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study among 2215 MD cases reported from 1995 to 2003 in Rio Grande do Sul (RS) State. RESULTS: The overall incidence fell by 50%; the case-fatality rate during this period was 22%. Even so, the incidence of MD remained high after the epidemic period ended in 1999. Together, the age groups of 1-4...
