The genetic basis of meningococcal and other life threatening bacterial infections of childhood (EUCLIDS)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2017,
Bacterial infection is the major cause of disability and death in children worldwide. We will use meningococcal disease (MD) as a model to understand genetic factors underlying susceptibility and severity of childhood bacterial infection which will then be applied to other childhood infections. We have established cohorts of patients with MD in Central and Southern Europe (CE,SE), UK and Africa as ...
