- W2094410251 abstract "In a retrospective study of invasive meningococcal infections in Greater Gothenburg, Sweden, 213 cases of culture-verified meningitis or septicaemia were identified during the 15-year period 1975–1989. The annual incidence was 2.0/100000. Cases were seen in all age-groups with the highest rates in the 0–4 and 15–19 year-old groups, 9.5 and 6.2/100000 respectively. 20% of the patients were < 2 years. 91% of the patients had no known risk factors. In only 10 cases (5%) was contact with another case of meningococcal infection known. The main clinical manifestations were meningitis (57%), septicaemia with no sign of focal infection (25%) and septic shock (17%). The case-fatality rate for all the patients was 6.6% and did not change during the 15-year period. One-third of the patients who presented with septic shock died. The serogroup was known for strains from 192 patients. 51% of the strains belonged to serogroup B, 10% to group A and 23% to group C. In conclusion, the incidence of meningococcal infection was low but the relatively high case-fatality rate warrants a search for effective prophylaxis. About 30% of the cases were potentially preventable by the currently available tetravalent (A, C, Y and W135) polysaccharide vaccine, which is immunogenic in children > 2 years. Widespread use of antibiotic prophylaxis to close contacts of known cases would not lower the incidence markedly." @default.
