Invasive Meningococcal Disease - Epidemiology Forecast to 2029

Summary Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a life-threatening condition caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis (N. meningitidis). N. meningitidis is an encapsulated gram-negative bacterium that exists without complication in roughly 5-11% of adults and up to 25% of adolescents.

New York, Oct. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Invasive Meningococcal Disease - Epidemiology Forecast to 2029" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p05978765/?utm_source=GNW
However, if the bacterium moves beyond the nasopharynx and invades body tissue, serious illness can arise, usually in the form of meningitis or septicemia. Symptoms of disease can include fever, headache, stiff neck, nausea, photophobia, and fatigue, among others. The bacterium is spread by respiratory droplets through close or prolonged contact with an infected person and is not as contagious as the common cold or flu.

In 2019, there were 3,330 laboratory-confirmed incident cases of IMD in the 9MM and this is expected to grow to 3,397 by 2029 at an annual growth rate (AGR) of 0.2%. Based on the methodologies used in this forecast, any change over the forecast period can be attributed to changes in the underlying population demographics and is not due to any direct changes in the epidemiology of IMD in any market. Serogroup B was the predominant subtype across the 9MM in 2019, but there is great variability in serogroup prevalence across all markets. In the 5EU, serogroup B was predominant in all markets, in the US serogroup Y was most predominant, in Argentina serogroup W was most prevalent, while in Brazil and China serogroup C was most prevalent.

Scope
