A systematic literature review to develop evidence-based guidelines for chemoprophylaxis of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD). The work was commissioned by the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC). With an international interdisciplinary team, we reviewed existing evidence on IMD chemoprophylaxis in different settings. It was a very inspiring collaborative work, and our recommendations were used to update national guidelines in many countries :)
