| Abstract | Epidemics of bacterial meningitis caused by Neisseria meningitidis were first reported in Brazil in
1920.Following the predominance of meningococcal serogroup B during the 1990s, serogroup C
outbreaks emerged throughout Brazil after 2000, gradually replacing B as the most prevalent
serogroup. During the first semester of 2010, unusually high numbers of meningococcal disease
cases and deaths among persons older than 10 years occurred in the city of Salvador, leading
the state immunization program to conduct mass vaccination of city residents 10 to 24 years of
age from May to August 2010. We analyzed data from meningitis surveillance in Salvador in 2010 | pt_BR |
