Poster (in English) presented at the Meeting of European Monitoring Group on Meningococci (EMGM 2007)

On this ninth EMGM meeting, we presented a series of investigations of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) surveillance data. There was a certain competition with the national reference laboratory, which also presented several interesting posters. Many European experts were wondering what was the reason of such explosion of knowledge on IMD in Poland. Fortunately, the situation calmed down in subsequent years and our two institutions started to collaborate more effectively, by linking data from epidemiological surveillance and reference laboratory data. This poster present a simple overview of IMD surveillance in Poland.
