On October 5th, 2006, the German Reference Centre for Meningococci (NRZM) held the 3rd Workshop on Epidemiology, Prevention and Treatment of Invasive Meningococcal Disease, in collaboration with the German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology (DGHM). Given the recent recommendation of the German Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) for conjugate meningococcal C vaccination of all children in the second year of life, observations from meningococcal C conjugate vaccination campaigns in other European countries were presented and compared to the German situation. Moreover, the newly implemented cluster detection routines employed at the NRZM and their integration into the interactive geographical information system EpiScanGIS were shown. Based on recent experiences from regional outbreaks in Oberallgäu, Sangerhausen, and Greater Aachen, examples for public health intervention were given at the conference. In addition, current developments in the area of meningococcal research, as well as trends in antimicrobial susceptibility were covered. Finally, the latest evidence concerning the clinical management and chemoprophylaxis of this invasive bacterial disease was discussed.
2006年10月5日，德国脑膜炎球菌参考中心（NRZM）与德国卫生与微生物学会（DGHM）合作举办了第三届侵袭性脑膜炎球菌病流行病学、预防与治疗研讨会。鉴于德国疫苗接种常设委员会（STIKO）最近建议对所有两岁儿童接种结合型C群脑膜炎球菌疫苗，会上介绍了其他欧洲国家C群脑膜炎球菌结合疫苗接种活动的观察结果，并与德国的情况进行了比较。此外，还展示了NRZM新实施的聚集性病例检测程序及其与交互式地理信息系统EpiScanGIS的整合情况。基于上阿尔高、桑格豪森和大亚琛地区近期疫情的经验，会议给出了公共卫生干预示例。此外，还涵盖了脑膜炎球菌研究领域的当前进展以及抗菌药物敏感性趋势。最后，讨论了有关这种侵袭性细菌性疾病临床管理和化学预防的最新证据。
