Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Meningococcal disease is an anthroponotic disease transmitted by meningococcal carriers, patients with meningococcal nasopharyngitis, and generalized forms of the infection. Transmission is via airborne droplets and household contact. The incubation period is 1-7 days. [1]. Meningococcal infection is characterized by a periodicity, with intervals of 10-20 years between peaks, which, according to our observations, has recently become apparent and underscores the relevance of this problem. Children (70-80%) and young adults are predominantly affected.
