The elusive meningococcal meningitis serogroup: a systematic review of serogroup B epidemiology.

BMC infectious diseases - 17 Jun 2010

Racloz Vanessa N, Luiz Silva J D

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), is a widely distributed, complex human disease affecting all age categories. The causative agent, Neisseria meningitidis, is spread through aerosol respiratory droplets. 13 different serogroups have been identified, each with varying epidemiological features including prevalence, virulence, immunogenicity, geographical and temporal distribution. Although...
