Dynamics of the meningococcal carrier state and characteristics of the carrier strains: a longitudinal study within three cohorts of military recruits.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Aug 1998

Andersen J, Berthelsen L, Bech Jensen B, Lind I

Abstract excerpt

Three cohorts of Danish male military recruits (n = 1069) were studied for pharyngeal meningococcal carriage during 3 months at different seasons: 39-47% of entrants were meningococcal carriers and the carriage rate remained constant over time and season. However, individual changes in the carrier state occurred frequently, and after 3 months 34% had changed carrier state on one or more occasions. Initially, a...
