pharyngeal carriage of neisseria meningitidis and neisseria lactamica in households with infants within areas with high and low incidences of meningococcal disease.in a household survey in the faroe islands, an isolated community with hyperendemic occurrence of meningococcal disease due to serogroup b 15, 1604 persons were examined for pharyngeal carriage of neisseria meningitidis and n. lactamica. two areas were chosen having experienced high (hia), and two having experienced low incidences (lia) of disease. living in hia compared with lia was associated with higher risk of n. meningitidis b 15 carriage and lower risk of n. lactamica carriage, with odds r ...19911904825
meningococcal serotypes and serogroup b disease in north-west europe.examination of the trends of meningococcal infection in norway, iceland, faroe islands, denmark, england and wales, and the netherlands, has shown that neisseria meningitidis b:2b:p1.2 and/or b:2a:p1.2 phenotypes were associated with peaks of infection in the netherlands in 1966, in iceland 1976-77, and in england and wales in 1973-75. these strains were present in all six countries in the decade 1970-80 but their prevalence is now practically negligible. in contrast the prevalence of the b:15:p ...19862875290
screening for complement deficiencies in patients surviving from epidemic meningococcal disease.sera from 132 patients surviving from meningococcal disease during the high-endemic period 1 january 1980 to 31 december 1984 on the faroe islands were screened for deficiencies of the complement (c) system by measuring hemolytic complement function in serum. samples from 12 patients with reduced c function were further investigated by immunochemical quantification of individual c proteins. one patients was identified with c3-deficiency (c3-concentration 6% of normal) due to the presence of c3 n ...19883172175
