自2004年12月20日起,安徽省芜湖、滁州等地先后发生局部流脑疫情。此次疫情的病原体“C群脑膜炎双球菌”,在我国尚属少见,我国大部分人群缺乏对它的免疫力。不过专家指出,流脑是一种常见的呼吸道传染病,可防、可治、可控,不必惊恐。 Since December 20, 2004, epidemics of the local meningitis have occurred in Wuhu and Chuzhou, Anhui Province. The outbreak of the pathogens “Group C meningococcus” is still rare in our country, most of our population lack of immunity to it. However, experts point out that meningitis is a common respiratory disease that can be prevented, managed and controlled without any alarm.
