脑膜炎奈瑟氏菌分为12个不同的血清群，其中A、B、C、W-135、X和Y在医学上是最重要的，并且在世界不同地区代表重要的健康问题。本文报道了N.脑膜炎在时间和地理区域上是不可预测的。最近的流行病学监测表明，如本杂志先前发表的2010年欧洲各国流行病学数据所示，欧洲一些地区血清群Y侵袭性脑膜炎球菌病有所增加。受N.与前十年相比，在一些国家，脑膜炎血清群Y似乎有所减少。
Neisseria meningitidis is differentiated into 12 distinct serogroups, of which A, B, C, W-135, X, and Y are medically most important and represent an important health problem in different parts of the world. The epidemiology of N. meningitidis is unpredictable over time and across geographic regions. Recent epidemiological surveillance has indicated an increase of serogroup Y invasive meningococcal disease in some parts of Europe as shown in the epidemiological data for 2010 from various European countries previously published in this journal.1 Here, data is reported indicating that the emergence of serogroup Y continued in 2011 in various regions of Europe. The average age of persons affected by N. meningitidis serogroup Y seems to have decreased in some countries in comparison to the previous decade.
