Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2001
Global control and prevention of meningococcal disease depends on the further development of vaccines that overcome the limitations of the current polysaccharide vaccines. Protein-polysaccharide conjugate vaccines likely will address the marginal protective antibody responses and short duration of immunity in young children derived from the A, C, Y ...

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2010
Meningococcal meningitis (MM) is the most common presentation of meningococcal disease and an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. When MM is associated with shock, early recognition and treatment of shock is essential. No investigation should delay starting antibiotics once the diagnosis is suspected. Corticosteroids can be started at

Neisseria meningitidis is a major world-wide cause of meningitis. N. meningitidis related diseases have become more pronounced in the last decade and changes in meningococcal-associated disease have opened new opportunities for prevention and vaccine development. Although multivalent vaccines have been developed against the N. meningitidis serogroups A,

Journal of Adolescent Health Care, 1990
Two to four percent of the population carry meningococcus in the nasopharynx. Pharyngeal infections may be the entry point for blood-borne metastatic lesions throughout the body. Primary infections in other tissues are rare, and proof of transmission from a known carrier to a specific patient is uncommon.

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1979
Meningococcal conjunctivitis is typically described as an acute purulent infection. An atypical case of mild catarrhal conjunctivitis occurred in a 19-year-old college student. The meningococci were identified as Neisseria meningitidis, group A, and were isolated from the throats of the patient and her roommate.

A patient with meningococcal pneumonia which developed following therapy for an earlier episode of pneumococcal pneumonia is presented. This entity is most frequently associated with an antecedent viral respiratory illness and/or a concurrent infection with Hemophilus influenzae or diplococcus pneumoniae.

Abstract Background: Primary meningococcal conjunctivitis is a rare condition that can have devastating ocular and systemic complications. Methods: Review of the case records. Conclusions: Appropriate Gram stain and cultures should be obtained in cases of hyperacute conjunctivitis, especially in young patients, and systemic antibiotics should be ...
