The human-specific bacterial pathogen Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of sepsis and/or meningitis. The pili of N. meningitidis interact with CD46, a human cell-surface protein involved in regulation of complement activation.

Within the last two years there have been many isolations of sulfonamide-resistant meningococci from military and civilian populations. This probably reflects the current prevalence of groups B and C. There is evidence that these serotypes had varying degrees of resistance more than 20 years ago.

PREVENTION OF MENINGOCOCCAL DISEASE
Fetal and Pediatric Pathology, 2006Neisseria meningitidis is the most common cause of meningitis in children aged 2-18 with a mortality rate ranging from 4-40% and substantial morbidity in 11-19% of survivors. Of the four serogroups ofNeisseria meningitidis, serogroups B and C are the most common causes in the United States, with serogroup C causing most disease among adolescents, a ...

Epidemiology of meningococcal disease
Hospital Medicine, 2002In the UK, serogroup A strains disappeared 50years ago, but in the 1990s, numbers of cases rose again to a 50-year high. Following the very successful introduction of conjugated meningitis C vaccines, effective meningitis B vaccines are now the highest priority.

Meningococcal disease in Africa
Annals of Tropical Medicine And Parasitology, 1997Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) is responsible for endemic and meningococcal disease in Africa. Meningococci are placed into 12 serogroups based on their capsular polysaccharide antigens. Group-B meningococci are responsible for sporadic endemic disease.

Albumin in meningococcal disease
Hospital Medicine, 2000The management of acute meningococcal disease (MD) exemplifies what is best and worst about modern paediatric intensive care. The best because, in the face of well-staffed teams with centralized experience, survival has improved dramatically (clinical scoring systems such as the Glasgow Meningococcal Septicaemia Prognostic Score indicate that for the ...

Prophylaxis for Meningococcal Disease
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1975THE PAST decade has been a tumultuous one for meningococcologists. The emergence and spread of sulfadiazine-resistant strains, which were first reported in 1963, ended a 20-year period in which control of the dreaded disease was possible with a brief, inexpensive chemoprophylactic regimen (sulfadiazine, 2 gm a day for two days). Intensive research over
