Clinically Suspected Invasive Meningococcal Disease Presenting With Purpura Fulminans‐Like Rash, Septic Shock, Multiorgan Dysfunction, and Recovery From ARDS in a Previously Healthy Child

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Clinically suspected invasive meningococcal disease can deteriorate rapidly in previously well children. Prompt recognition of the petechial–purpuric rash with shock, early empirical antibiotics, and aggressive supportive pediatric intensive care are cornerstones of management as multiorgan dysfunction and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ...

Complement Inhibition in the Clinic: Are We Doing Enough to Protect Patients From Infection?

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 7, July 2026.
Excessive complement activation is implicated in a broad range of diseases. Therapeutic approaches targeting the complement cascade, from pathway‐selective inhibition to terminal blockade, can effectively control disease activity. However, increasing degrees of complement inhibition are associated with a heightened susceptibility to bacterial, viral ...

Defining the Efficacy of Meningococcal B Vaccines Against Gonococcal Acquisition: The Current Landscape

Journal of the International AIDS Society, Volume 29, Issue S2, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Gonorrhoea is a major global sexually transmitted infection, with rising incidence and increasing antimicrobial resistance threatening current control strategies. If untreated, Neisseria gonorrhoeae can lead to severe reproductive health sequelae. Gonorrhoea is also linked to increased HIV acquisition and transmission.

Epidemiology of invasive meningococcal disease in France in 2003

Eurosurveillance, 2005
National surveillance of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is based on mandatory reporting. The case definition for surveillance notification was changed in mid-2002 to include cases without microbiological confirmation. The IMD alert detection system was enhanced in 2003 with daily reporting and weekly analysis by district, serogroup, and age ...

Potential Use of Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup B Vaccines to Prevent Neisseria gonorrhoeae Infection: Epidemiological Considerations

Journal of the International AIDS Society, Volume 29, Issue S2, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Clinical trials are evaluating the efficacy of serogroup B meningococcal (MenB) outer membrane vesicle (OMV) vaccines in preventing gonorrhoea. We assessed the global epidemiology of gonorrhoea and MenB invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) and reviewed national MenB‐OMV vaccination policies to inform potential use of these ...

Invasive Meningococcal Disease in Scotland, 1994 to 1999, with Emphasis on Group B Meningococcal Disease [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2002
ABSTRACT A review was carried out on 774 invasive meningococcal isolates reported to the active meningococcal surveillance system in Scotland from 1994 to 1999. This showed that serogroups B (51.7%) and C (39.2%) caused the majority of disease.
