ΑΝΤΙ ΜΗΝΙΓΓΙΤΙΔΟΚΟΚΚΙΚΑ ΑΝΤΙΣΩΜΑΤΑ ΣΕ ΠΑΙΔΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΕΝΗΛΙΚΟΥΣ

ANTIMENINGOCOCCAL ANTIBODIES WERE STUDIED BY PASSIVE HEMAGGLUTINATION IN 949 SERA OBTAINED FROM A) 222 CHILDREN HOSPITALIZED FOR MENINGITIS, B) THEIR PARENTS (N 301) AND HEALTHY SIBLINGS (N 69), C) 41 CHILDREN ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL FORDISEASE OTHER THAN MENINGITIS, AND D) 217 HEALTHY ADULTS (MEDICAL STAFF, BLOOD DONORS AND PARENTS OF CHILDREN ATTENDING THE HOSPITAL OUTPATIENT CLINIC). INADULTS THE PREVALENCE OF ANTI-B ANTIBODIES RANGED FROM 53 TO 71,4% IN THE VARIOUS GROUPS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MEDICAL STAFF (N 116 WHERE IT WAS FOUND TO BE UNEXPECTEDLY LOW (21,5%). THERE WAS NO SEX DIFFERENCE (P > 0.1), EXCEPT IN MOTHERS WHOSE CHILDREN HAD MENINGITIS OF UNKNOWN AETIOLOGY, THE PREVALENCE BEING HIGHER COMPARED TO THEIR HUSBANDS (P < 0,001). IN CHILDREN, AGED 35 DAYS TO 13 YEARS, ANTI-A ANTIBODIES WERE DETECTED IN 19,7% ANTI-B IN 53% AND ANTI-C IN 3,2%.
