- نبذة مختصرة :
Invazivna meningokokna bolest (IMB) javlja se najčešće sporadično, ali iznenada i s visokim letalitetom. Uzročnik se prenosi kapljičnim putem iz nazofarinksa asimptomatskog kliconoše ili oboljele osobe, češće tijekom zimskih mjeseci. U Hrvatskoj, kao i u drugim dijelovima Europe, IMB najčešće uzrokuje Neisseria meningitidis serološke grupe B. Prosječna incidencija IMB u Hrvatskoj u proteklih petnaestak godina iznosi 1,07 na 100 000 stanovnika, dok u Brodsko-posavskoj županiji iznosi 0,78 na 100 000 stanovnika. Oboljeli se obavezno liječe u bolnici, a pravovremeno započeto antimikrobno liječenje povećava vjerojatnost povoljnog ishoda bolesti. Zbog visoke stope smrtnosti IMB, javnozdravstvene aktivnosti usmjerene su na otkrivanje bliskih kontakata u kojih se mora provesti pravodobna i učinkovita kemoprofilaksa. U ovom radu prikazujemo slučaj šestogodišnje djevojčice oboljele od IMB i protuepidemijske mjere provedene u cilju sprječavanja sekundarnih slučajeva.
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) occurs most often sporadically, but suddenly and with high mortality rates. The pathogen is transmitted by droplets from the nasopharynx of asymptomatic carrier or patient, commonly during the cold season. Serogroup B meningococcus dominates in Croatia as elsewhere in Europe. The average incidence over the past fifteen years has been 1,07 per 100 000 population in Croatia while in the Brod – Posavina County the average incidence has been 0,78 per 100 000 population. Patients with IMD should be hospitalized and treated immediately with antibiotics to improve patient outcome. Due to the high mortality rates of meningococcal disease, public health activities are focused on providing timely and effective chemoprophylaxis to close contacts. We describe a six-year-old girl with IMD and post-exposure prophylaxis activities in order to prevent secondary cases.
