14. Short-term and long-term antibody response by mice after immunization against Neisseria meningitidis B or diphtheria toxoid
Serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis (MenB) is a major cause of invasive disease in early childhood worldwide. The only MenB vaccine available in Brazil was produced in Cuba and has shown unsatisfactory efficacy when used to immunize millions of children in Brazil. In the present study, we compared the specific functional antibody responses evoked by the Cuban

15. Fatores clínicos e laboratoriais associados à gravidade da doença meningocócica / Clinical and laboratory features associate with severity of meningococcal disease
O conhecimento científico da doença meningocócica cresceu significativamente desde que a natureza epidêmica da enfermidade foi pioneiramente descrita por Vieusseux no começo do século dezenove. De fato, dois séculos depois, houve avanços revolucionários nas esferas de saúde pública, técnicas diagnósticas, antibioticoterapia, assim como nas terap

16. Análise e determinação de custos específicos e consequências econômico-sociais na incorporação da vacina contra meningite e doença meningocócica C conjugada na rotina do Programa Nacional de Imunização/PNI / Analysis and determination of specific costs and socioeconomic consequences in the incorporation of the vaccine against meningitis and Meningococcal Disease C conjugate in the routine national immunization program / NIP
As avaliações econômicas em saúde, que se propõe a estudar a alocação mais eficiente de recursos, apresentam expansão nos últimos 20 anos. Para as vacinas especificamente, há crescente surgimento das avaliações econômicas de programas de vacinação dado aumento dos preços das novas vacinas. Nesse cenário tem-se que a doença meningocócica co

17. Variáveis meteorológicas e a ocorrência de doença meningocócica no município de Manaus de 2007 a 2009 / Meteorological variables and the occurences of meningococcal disease in Manaus from 2007 to 2009
A doença meningocócica (DM), uma forma específica de meningite bacteriana, provocada pela Neisseria Meningitidis, bactéria essa que contamina o SNC (Sistema nervoso central), pela corrente sanguínea ou pelas membranas leptomeníngeas, atingindo o cérebro humano. Pode apresentar-se sob três formas diferentes: a meningite meningocócica, a meningococemi

18. Fatal meningococcal meningitis in a HIV-infected patient caused by serogroup C Neisseria meningitidis belonging to the non-hypervirulent clonal complex ST-60 (cc60)
Meningococcal strains belonging to clonal complex cc60 are not associated with hypervirulent lineages and were never reported as causing disease in Latin American countries. This is the first report of a fatal meningitis case caused by a cc60 clonal complex meningococcus in Brazil. Despite the immune-compromised state of the patient, the fatal outcome here d

19. Perfil epidemiológico da doença meningocócica, no estado de Minas Gerais, entre 2000 e 2009. / Epidemiological profile of meningococcal disease, in the state of Minas Gerais, from 2000 to 2009.
The infection by Neisseria meningitis, named meningococcal disease (MD), can cause meningococcal meningitis and septicemia with or without meningitis. MD is an endemic disease in Brazil, however, has a high potential to cause epidemics and high case fatality which require immediate notification of the cases. The aims of this study were to describe an epidemi

20. Microbiological epidemiological history of meningococcal disease in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The main objectives of the present study were to investigate the clinical and laboratory features of meningococcal disease in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the overlap of 2 epidemics in the 1990s. We conducted a study of a series of cases of meningococcal disease admitted in a Meningitis Reference Hospital. All clinical isolates available were a

21. Comparison of dot-ELISA and standard ELISA for detection of Neisseria meningitidis outer membrane complex-specific antibodies
Dot-ELISA using the outer membrane complex antigens of Neisseria meningitidis as a target was standardized for rapid detection of meningococcal-specific antibodies in human serum. We investigated the level of meningococcal-specific IgG, IgA, and IgM in serum using dot-ELISA with outer membrane antigens prepared from Neisseria meningitidis serotype B:4.19:P1.

23. Recognition of the epidemiological significance of Neisseria meningitidis capsular serogroup W135 in the Rio de Janeiro region, Brazil
Neisseria meningitidis retains its ability to cause endemic and hiperendemic disease in human population living in any environment, as well as localized outbreaks and massive epidemics in civilians and military personnel. In Rio de Janeiro it has been reported in the 1990s as prolonged outbreak of serogroup B and at least one epidemic of serogroup C was well

24. Assessment of a two-step nucleic acid amplification assay for detection of Neisseria meningitidis followed by capsular genogrouping
Immediate prevention of meningococcal disease relies in part on the prompt treatment with antibiotics of household and other close contacts of cases; however intervention with effective vaccination relies on identification of serogroup-causing strains. Parenteral antibiotic for patient with suspected meningococcal disease before hospital admission is current
