Increasing incidence of meningococcal disease in Spain associated with a new variant of serogroup C.

European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology - 1 Feb 1998

Berrón S, De La Fuente L, Martín E, Vázquez J A

Abstract excerpt

Serogroup B has been the main cause of meningococcal disease in Spain since at least 1979, but in recent years an increase in the prevalence of infection due to serogroup C meningococci has been detected. In 1996, for the first time, most cases of meningococcal disease were caused by serogroup C strains. The sero/subtype of all serogroup C meningococci received from 1993 to June 1996 was determined, and the...
