Résumé

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) remains a significant health concern due to its unpredictable nature and its rapid progression. Even if occurrence of IMD is strictly monitored by a national surveillance network, no information on long-term sequelae is reported, making it difficult to assess the entire clinical burden of IMD in France. The aim of this scoping review was to analyze the epidemiology and the clinical burden of IMD in France by reporting the main epidemiological parameters, and by describing the clinical consequences and the care pathway of patients. The process of the review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension to the Scoping Reviews guidelines. In France, the incidence of IMD cases has been fluctuating over time, characterized by an overall downward trend linked to a decrease in Sg B cases and the introduction of mandatory vaccination against Sg C. Sg W cases increased in recent years (from 5% to 21% in 2019). The case fatality rate remained constant (6–12.9%). The most frequently reported sequelae were severe neurological disorder, epilepsy, and anxiety. However, data on sequelae and care pathways were scarce. Further research should concentrate on providing robust identification of sequelae and the subsequent impact on quality of life, as well as on the organization of optimal care and support for patients and their families.
