  1. Kent’s #meningitis outbreak was years in the making – here’s why

    The #students caught up in it belong to a generation that has never been routinely #vaccinated against the strain responsible.

    That is not because a #vaccine doesn’t exist. It does. Bexsero, which protects against #meningococcal group B #disease has been available since 2013

    The #UK even became the first country in the world to add it to its national #immunisation schedule, in September 2015.

    But only for babies ...

  6. Recent #increase in #atypical presentations of invasive #meningococcal #disease in #France, BMC Infect Dis.: bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com

    Non-meningeal forms of IMD increased significantly upon easing of #NPI, such as bacteremic meningococcal #pneumonia and bacteremic #abdominal forms. They represented 6% & 8% of all IMD forms and were significantly linked to serogroups Y and W respectively, to older adults for bacteremic pneumonia and to young adults for bacteremic abdominal presentations.
