Meningococcal carriage in high-risk settings: A systematic review.
Peterson ME, Mile R, Li Y, Nair H, Kyaw MH. Peterson ME, et al. Int J Infect Dis. 2018 Aug;73:109-117. doi: 10.1016/j.ijid.2018.05.022. Epub 2018 Jul 8. Int J Infect Dis. 2018. PMID: 29997031 Free article. Review.
BACKGROUND: Historically, semi-closed populations have had high rates of meningococcal carriage and have experienced recurrent outbreaks. As such, these high-risk groups are recommended for targeted vaccination in many countries. ...'Other' serogroups were more prev …

Second hand smoke exposure and the risk of invasive meningococcal disease in children: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Murray RL, Britton J, Leonardi-Bee J. Murray RL, et al. BMC Public Health. 2012 Dec 10;12:1062. doi: 10.1186/1471-2458-12-1062. BMC Public Health. 2012. PMID: 23228219 Free PMC article. Review.
RESULTS: We identified 18 studies which assessed the effects of SHS on the risk of invasive meningococcal disease in children. SHS in the home doubled the risk of invasive meningococcal disease (OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.63 to 2.92, I2 = 72%), with some eviden …
