title: [Meningococcal disease in the winter season 1988-1989].
abstract: We describe the 304 cases of meningococcal disease notified from week 45 of 1988 and up to week 21 of 1989, and compare these data with those for 1966, the year of the last epidemic in The Netherlands. During the epidemic the interval between the first day of illness and the moment of reporting shortened.
