Between February and May 2017, two cases of invasive meningococcal disease caused by a new, rapidly expanding serogroup W meningococci variant were reported among students of an international university in Paris. Bacteriological investigations showed that isolates shared identical genotypic formula (W:P1.5,2:F1-1:cc11) and belonged to the South American/UK lineage. A vaccination campaign was organised that aimed at preventing new cases linked to potential persistence of the circulation of the bacteria in the students.
2017年2月至5月期间,巴黎一所国际大学的学生中报告了两例由一种新的、迅速传播的W群脑膜炎球菌变种引起的侵袭性脑膜炎球菌病。细菌学调查显示,分离株具有相同的基因型公式(W:P1.5,2:F1-1:cc11),属于南美/英国谱系。组织了一场疫苗接种运动,旨在预防与该细菌在学生中可能持续传播相关的新病例。
