Spatiotemporal Analysis of Invasive Meningococcal Disease, Germany
Meningococci can cause clusters of disease. Specimens from 1,616 patients in Germany obtained over 42 months were typed by serogrouping and sequence typing of PorA and FetA and yielded a highly diverse dataset (Simpson's index 0.963). A retrospective spatiotemporal scan statistic (SaTScan) was applied in an automated fashion to identify clusters for each finetype defined by serogroup variable r...
متن کاملEpidemiology of invasive meningococcal disease in Germany, 2002-2010, and impact of vaccination with meningococcal C conjugate vaccine.
OBJECTIVES To analyse serogroup (Sg)- and finetype-specific invasive meningococcal disease burden (IMD) in Germany, 2002-2010, with emphasis on effects of vaccination with conjugate SgC vaccines targeting one-year old children since 2006, including individual-based catch-up to 17 years of age. METHODS Serogroup- and age-specific IMD incidence and trends were calculated using statutory surveil...
متن کاملSurveillance of invasive meningococcal disease in Queensland, 2002.
During 2002, 124 cases of invasive meningococcal disease were notified in Queensland. This was similar to the previous year (n = 128). Four (3.2%) of the cases died. Trends by age and serogroup were generally similar to previous years and were consistent with the overall patterns of this disease in Australia. However, an apparent increase in serogroup C, which infected 41 per cent of cases, nee...
متن کاملModifiable risk factors for invasive meningococcal disease during an Edmonton, Alberta outbreak, 1999-2002.
BACKGROUND An outbreak of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in metro Edmonton, Alberta, Canada between December 1999 and June 2002 resulted in 84 laboratory-confirmed cases. Most cases were infected with Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C, and the highest age-specific incidence was observed in the 15-19 year age group. METHODS A case-control study was conducted to identify modifiable IMD r...
متن کاملCapture-recapture analysis to estimate the incidence of invasive meningococcal disease in Germany, 2003.
The incidence of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in Germany in 2003 was estimated by the two-source capture-recapture method. As a unique personal identifier was unavailable, cases with IMD tested at the National Reference Centre for Meningococci (NRZM) were matched with cases reported to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) through the statutory surveillance system by using demographic and dis...
