Abstract

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), caused by infection with the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, usually manifests as meningitis or septicemia and can be severe and life-threatening (1). Six serogroups (A, B, C, W, X, and Y) account for most cases (2). N. meningitidis is transmitted person-to-person via respiratory droplets and oropharyngeal secretions. Asymptomatic persons can carry N. meningitidis and transmit the bacteria to others, potentially causing illness among susceptible persons. Outbreaks can occur in conjunction with large gatherings (3,4). Vaccines are available to prevent meningococcal disease. Antibiotic prophylaxis for close contacts of infected persons is critical to preventing secondary cases (2).

2024 年美国、英国和法国与前往沙特阿拉伯朝圣有关的脑膜炎球菌疾病病例。

侵袭性脑膜炎球菌病（IMD）由奈瑟氏脑膜炎球菌感染引起，通常表现为脑膜炎或败血症，病情严重时可危及生命（1）。大多数病例由六种血清群（A、B、C、W、X 和 Y）引起 (2)。脑膜炎双球菌通过呼吸道飞沫和口咽分泌物在人与人之间传播。无症状者可携带脑膜炎奈瑟菌并将其传播给其他人，从而可能导致易感人群患病。疫情可能会在大型集会时爆发 (3,4)。目前已有预防脑膜炎球菌病的疫苗。对与感染者有密切接触的人采取抗生素预防措施对防止继发病例至关重要 (2)。

期刊介绍： The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR ) series is prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Often called “the voice of CDC,” the MMWR series is the agency’s primary vehicle for scientific publication of timely, reliable, authoritative, accurate, objective, and useful public health information and recommendations. MMWR readership predominantly consists of physicians, nurses, public health practitioners, epidemiologists and other scientists, researchers, educators, and laboratorians.
