Characteristics of Neisseria meningitidis isolates causing fatal disease.

Scandinavian journal of infectious diseases - 1 Jan 2008

Jacobsson Susanne, Olcén Per, Löfdahl Margareta, Fredlund Hans, Mölling Paula

Abstract excerpt

The objectives of the present study were to describe a selection of characteristics of all available fatal meningococcal isolates (n = 62) and to compare these with all the other invasive isolates (non-fatal, n = 474) collected in Sweden from 1995 to 2004 (fatality rate of 12%). The coverage of the fatal isolates by presently discussed outer membrane vesicle (OMV) vaccines was also estimated. The isolates were...
