The association of meningococcal disease with influenza in the United States, 1989-2009.
The purpose of this paper is to quantify the fraction of meningococcal disease attributable to influenza. The authors found that, over 20 years, 12.8% of meningococcal disease can be attributable to influenza in the preceding weeks with H3N2 accounting for 5.2%, H1N1 4.3%, B 3.0%, and pH1N1 0.2%. They concluded that influenza vaccination could provide protection, particularly in young children where the meningococcal disease vaccine is not recommended or protective against the most common serogroup.
