Definition and characterization of localised meningitis epidemics in Burkina Faso: A longitudinal retrospective study
2012
Background
The epidemiology of meningococcal meningitis in the African meningitis belt is characterised by seasonality, localised epidemics and epidemic waves. To facilitate research and surveillance, we aimed to develop a definition for localised epidemics to be used in real-time surveillance based on weekly case reports at the health centre level.
