What is Meningococcal Disease?
Meningitis, Meningococcal Disease is attributed to 13 different groups of bacteria. In the UK, the predominant culprits are MenB, MenC, MenW, or MenY. These bacteria commonly reside in the posterior nasal and throat areas, with 10 out of 100 carriers exhibiting no discernible symptoms or illness. This asymptomatic carrier state poses a significant risk, facilitating the ease of disease transmission.
The transmission of Meningococcal Disease occurs through close contact with an individual carrying the bacteria. These bacteria have the potential to give rise to severe conditions such as meningitis or septicemia, the latter of which can lead to sepsis and, in some cases, fatal outcomes.
Although Meningococcal infections can affect individuals of any age, infants, young children, and teenagers are notably more susceptible to the adverse impacts of the disease.
