dc.description.abstractNeisseria meningitidis infections were first reported from the south-western Cape Province in 1883. Since then, against a backdrop of a relatively low incidence with winter exacerbation, epidemic periods have occurred at 10 - IS-year intervals. During the 1978 - 1979 epidemic more than 95% of isolates at Tygerberg Hospital were of serogroup B and only 5% were resistant to sulphonamides. Seventy-seven per cent of patients notified as suffering from meningococcal infections were under 4 years of age.3 In this report we briefly describe the pattern of serogrouping and sulphonamide resistance of N. meningitidis for the period 1980 - 1987.en_ZA
