Population-based risk factors for invasive disease, identified by Active Bacterial Core surveillance
Factors associated with increased risk by | |||
---|---|---|---|
Pathogen | Age group, other criteria | multivariate analysis | References |
Streptococcus pneumoniae | <5 years old | Child-care attendance, underlying conditions, lack of breast-feeding, household crowding | (29) |
18-64 years old, not immunocompromised | Active or passive smoke exposure, black race, chronic diseases, household contact with child in day care | (30) | |
Neisseria meningitidis | All ages | Active or passive smoke exposure, underlying conditions, steroid use, attendance at new school | (31) |
Group B Streptococcus | <7 days old | Black race, low birth weight, maternal age <20 years | CDC, unpub. data |
