Meningococcal infection in the Republic of Buryatia: features of epidemiology and specific prophylaxis
https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2024.87.13
Abstract
The article presents manifestations of the epidemic process of meningococcal infection in the Republic of Buryatia: the dynamics of morbidity in different age groups of the population, mortality, serogroup characteristics of meningococcal strains. An assessment of the state of the level of collective immunity is given based on serological monitoring data and an analysis of immunoprophylaxis against infectious diseases. The period 2021-2023 was characterized by worsening of the epidemiological situation (increasing morbidity and mortality; involvement of different age groups of the population; increase in the number of seronegative individuals). Conducting serological and bacteriological monitoring, increasing the volume of immunization against MI and strengthening awareness-raising work among the population about the possibilities of vaccine prevention of MI will help improve epidemiological surveillance of this infection.
