Abstract | 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 defined, both demanding quick action by the Public Health authorities.
We report here the emergence of serogroup W135 meningococcal disease causing endemic and case cluster in
Rio de Janeiro during the first years of this new century. | pt_BR |
