Description
Maria Lawrensia Tampubolon and co-authors measure meningococcal carriage among Indonesian Umrah pilgrims, in a research paper from 2026. Meningococcal disease spreads at mass gatherings, and Umrah draws far more Indonesian pilgrims than Hajj. No surveillance system tracks Umrah travel for this germ, so carriage rates and risk factors were unknown.
Nine hundred returning pilgrims at two airports answered surveys and gave throat swabs. Lab tests checked for the germ, and blood was drawn when symptoms showed. The average age was near fifty-one, and half the group were women. The paper reports the carrier share and its linked factors. Results can guide prevention for pilgrim health.
