title: [Practical approach according to the Federal Infection Legislation in meningococcal diseases in community facilities from the viewpoint of Public Health physicians in Offenburg].
abstract: Within the area for which the Public Health Office Offenburg is in charge, numerous meningococcal diseases in childhood occurred in 1988. As a result there of, a new strategy for the control of meningococcal diseases in day-care centers has been developed. In this respect priority has been given to rapid mutual information among the persons involved together with the strict control and supervision of all contact persons. This strategy led to an acceptable compromise for all persons involved; the strategy aims at achieving scientific accuracy and legal correctness, it is transparent and reproducible, and is easily implemented from an organisational point of view.
