Recent #increase in #atypical presentations of invasive #meningococcal #disease in #France, BMC Infect Dis.: https://bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12879-024-09547-y

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.

So glad to see someone making use of 4CMenB to give limited protection against gonorrhea. I have access to two meningitis B vaccines, Trumenba and Bexsero. Since only Bexero has been shown to give this extra protection, it's the one I recommend.

Interesting move by JCVI. Roll out of targeted #vaccination against #mpox and #gonorrhea (the latter actually making use of cross protection by #meningococcal #vaccine)
