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
Anne Schuchat,Margaret J. Oxtoby,Stephen L. Cochi,R K Sikes,Allen W. Hightower,Brian D. Plikaytis,C V Broome +6 more
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
Immunogenicity of Two Efficacious Outer Membrane Protein-Based Serogroup B Meningococcal Vaccines among Young Adults in Iceland
Bradley A. Perkins,K. Jonsdottir,H. Briem,E. Griffiths,Brian D. Plikaytis,Høiby Ea,Einar Rosenqvist,J. Holst,Hanne Nøkleby,F. Sotolongo,G. Sierra,H. C. Campa,George M. Carlone,D. Williams,Janet K. Dykes,D. Kapczynski,E. Tikhomirov,Jay D. Wenger,C V Broome +18 more
TL;DR: SBA and ELISA may be insensitive correlates for protective efficacy for some outer membrane protein-based serogroup B meningococcal vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiratory viruses and mycoplasma as cofactors for epidemic group A meningococcal meningitis.
Patrick S. Moore,J. C. Hierholzer,W. DeWitt,K. Gouan,Djoré D,T. Lippeveld,Brian D. Plikaytis,C V Broome +7 more
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.
