Epidemiological Characteristics of Meningococcal Infection in Moscow
View through CrossRef
Aims
. The purpose of this study was to identify current epidemiological features of meningococcal infection in Moscow.
Materials and methods
. Cases of invasive meningococcal disease in Moscow from 2014 to 2018 and the biomaterial from patients with an invasive meningococcal disease were analyzed.
Results
. The features of the epidemic process of meningococcal disease in Moscow were revealed: increasing in the incidence rate involving teenagers and young adults into the epidemic process; meningococcal strains of serogroups W and A increased in the etiology of the invasive meningococcal disease; high mortality rate.
Conclusions
. It seems reasonable to recommend vaccination against meningococcal disease by including adolescents, young adults and persons over 65 years old.
