| bacterial meningitis in the united states, 1986: report of a multistate surveillance study. the bacterial meningitis study group. | a prospective, laboratory-based surveillance project obtained accurate data on meningitis in a population of 34 million people during 1986. haemophilus influenzae was the most common cause of bacterial meningitis (45%), followed by streptococcus pneumoniae (18%), and neisseria meningitidis (14%). rates of h. influenzae meningitis varied significantly by region, from 1.9/100,000 in new jersey to 4.0/100,000 in washington state. the overall case fatality rates for meningitis were lower than those ... | 1990 | 2230261 |

| meningococcal disease in the united states--1986. meningococcal disease study group. | active surveillance for invasive meningococcal disease was conducted during 1986 and 1987 in six areas of the united states with a total population of approximately 34 million persons. the incidence of meningococcal disease was 1.3:10(5). the highest incidence of disease among the surveillance areas was in los angeles county (1.65:10(5). neisseria meningitidis serogroups b and c caused about equal amounts of disease, which reflects a recent increase in the incidence of group c disease. group c c ... | 1991 | 1906910 |

| chlamydia trachomatis among patients infected with and treated for neisseria gonorrhoeae in sexually transmitted disease clinics in the united states. | for two decades, treatment guidelines for sexually transmitted diseases (stds) have recommended empirical co-treatment for chlamydia when patients are treated for gonorrhea. because the epidemiology of and diagnostic testing for stds have changed over time, co-treatment may no longer be needed as a clinical or public health strategy. | 2003 | 12899585 |

| human immunity to the meningococcus. i. the role of humoral antibodies. | susceptibility to systemic meningococcal disease is related to a selective deficiency of humoral antibodies to pathogenic strains of meningococci. in a study of the age-specific incidence of meningococcal meningitis in the united states, it was found that the proportion of individuals with serum bactericidal activity to meningococci of serogroups a, b, and c was reciprocally related to the incidence of disease. the prevalence of bactericidal activity was highest at birth and among adults, and lo ... | 1969 | 4977280 |
| human immunity to the meningococcus. v. the effect of immunization with meningococcal group c polysaccharide on the carrier state. | purified meningococcal polysaccharides were administered to army recruits. no adverse reactions were observed in 145 men who received group c polysaccharide, and in 53 men who were injected with group a polysaccharide. hemagglutinating and bactericidal activity developed in the sera of all individuals with the exception of two recruits injected with a polysaccharide. during the 6 wk period of observation, the proportion of unvaccinated recruits who acquired group c meningococci in the three comp ... | 1969 | 4977284 |
