    During the same period, rates of meningococcal disease were increased and case fatality rates were exceptionally high throughout southwest England.73 In 1957 and 1976, in England and Wales, approximately 2 weeks separated large outbreaks of influenza A from increases in reports of meningococcal meningitis.74 From 1985 through 1990 in France, the incidence of meningococcal disease during a given week correlated with rates of influenza-like syndrome during the preceding (but not the following) 5 weeks.
