Journal ArticleDOI

TOXIC-SHOCK SYNDROME NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MENSTRUATION: A Review of 54 cases

TL;DR: The clinical features of TSS not associated with menstruation and the characteristics of the S. aureus strains isolated from these patients were similar to those observed in TSS related to menstruation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intercontinental spread of an epidemic group A Neisseria meningitidis strain.

TL;DR: Electrophoretic enzyme typing revealed that a single group A Neisseria meningitidis clonal complex, designated III-1, was responsible for recent epidemics in Nepal, Saudi Arabia, and Chad, suggesting that clonal virulence is an important factor in the development of epidemics of meningococcal disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population-Based Risk Factors for Neonatal Group B Streptococcal Disease: Results of a Cohort Study in Metropolitan Atlanta

TL;DR: Most case-mothers (96%) received prenatal care, suggesting that prevention strategies such as prenatal screening or maternal immunization could reach nearly all the population at risk of neonatal GBS disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Respiratory viruses and mycoplasma as cofactors for epidemic group A meningococcal meningitis.

TL;DR: Case patients were more likely than controls to have nasal colonization or infection with respiratory viruses and Mycoplasma species, and the presence of respiratory pathogens increased the risk of upper-respiratory-tract symptoms but did not significantly increase meningococcal carriage.
