    Master-uppsats, Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Författare :Luwam Haylom Berhane; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Neisseria meningitidis; invasive meningococcal disease IMD ; meningitis; pneumonia; meningococcemia; septicaemia; bacteraemia; serogroup W; serogroup Y.;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Neisseria meningitidis is a gram-negative bacterium with the potential to cause invasive disease. Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) can be fatal if delay to antibiotic therapy. There are six serogroups, which are capable of causing invasive disease in humans; A, B, C, W, X and Y. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : The Innovative Medicines Initiative Accelerated Development of VAccine beNefit-risk Collaboration in Europe (IMI ADVANCE) project aims to develop a framework for best practice methods on integrated rapid benefit/risk monitoring of vaccines in the European Union (EU). Burden of disease is one of the measures considered when estimating vaccine benefits. LÄS MER

  4. 3. A Stochastic Model for Meningococcal Disease

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Författare :Hanna Autio; [2017]
    Nyckelord :population dynamics; stochastic modelling; African meningitis belt; meningococcal meningitis; Feller-Kendall algorithm; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : This paper presents a stochastic model for Meningococcal disease. Mathematical models for diseases are an important tool in population dynamics, and their results carry real-world implications as they guide policies and vaccination strategies. LÄS MER
