Common symptoms of meningococcal meningitis include sudden fever, headache, and stiff neck. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, increased sensitivity to light, and confusion
Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus). This bacterium is another leading cause of bacterial meningitis.

Neisseria meningitidis is a gram-negative diplococci (spheres clumped in pairs) bacteria. Meningitis and septicemia constitute the majority of cases of meningococcal disease. Other illnesses include septic arthritis, pneumonia, and rarely pericarditis. Only cases of invasive meningococcal diseas Meningococcal meningitis is becoming less common, partially because of vaccination. However, outbreaks do occur. In recent years, serogroup B meningococcus has been responsible for several outbreaks at US colleges and universities.

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, group A Streptococcus (GAS), and Staphylococcus aureus in asymptomatic elderly people and to unravel risk factors leading to colonization. Methods A multi-centre cross-sectional study was conducted including 677 asymptomatic adults aged 65 years or more. In addition to meningitis and septicemia, pneumonia, arthritis, pericarditis, endocarditis, and other clinical presentations also may be observed. Complications of meningococcal invasive disease can result in permanent hearing loss, brain damage, loss of limbs, and death. Groups at increased risk for meningococcal invasive disease Neisseria meningitidis remains a leading cause of meningitis and sepsis. This review provides an update on our understanding of immunity against meningococcal infection. Knowledge of the meningococ.. Beginning in July of 2018, we started offering the multicomponent N meningitidis serogroup B (4CMenB) vaccination for all PNH patients treated with complement C5 inhibitors.However, a recent study showed that eculizumab eliminated vaccine-induced complement-mediated protection (ie, opsonophagocytic killing) in in vitro experiments using whole blood from 4CMenB-vaccinated healthy individuals. 8.
