3. Neisseria meningitidis presenting as acute abdomen and recurrent reactive pericarditis
ABSTRACT Meningococcal meningitis is a well established potential fatal infection characterized by fever, headache, petechial rash, and vomiting in the majority of cases. However, protean manifestations including abdominal pain, sore throat, diarrhea and cough, even though rare, should not be overlooked. Similarly, although disseminated infection could poten

5. Use of sodC versus ctrA for real-time polymerase chain reaction-based detection of Neisseria meningitidis in sterile body fluids
We evaluated the use of a newly described sodC-based real-time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for detecting Neisseria meningitidis in normally sterile sites, such as cerebrospinal fluid and serum. The sodC-based RT-PCR assay has an advantage over ctrA for detecting nongroupable N. meningitidis isolates, which are commonly present in asymptomatic ph

6. Análise e determinação de custos específicos e consequências econômico-sociais na incorporação da vacina contra meningite e doença meningocócica C conjugada na rotina do Programa Nacional de Imunização/PNI / Analysis and determination of specific costs and socioeconomic consequences in the incorporation of the vaccine against meningitis and Meningococcal Disease C conjugate in the routine national immunization program / NIP
As avaliações econômicas em saúde, que se propõe a estudar a alocação mais eficiente de recursos, apresentam expansão nos últimos 20 anos. Para as vacinas especificamente, há crescente surgimento das avaliações econômicas de programas de vacinação dado aumento dos preços das novas vacinas. Nesse cenário tem-se que a doença meningocócica co

7. Fatal meningococcal meningitis in a HIV-infected patient caused by serogroup C Neisseria meningitidis belonging to the non-hypervirulent clonal complex ST-60 (cc60)
Meningococcal strains belonging to clonal complex cc60 are not associated with hypervirulent lineages and were never reported as causing disease in Latin American countries. This is the first report of a fatal meningitis case caused by a cc60 clonal complex meningococcus in Brazil. Despite the immune-compromised state of the patient, the fatal outcome here d

8. Perfil epidemiológico da doença meningocócica, no estado de Minas Gerais, entre 2000 e 2009. / Epidemiological profile of meningococcal disease, in the state of Minas Gerais, from 2000 to 2009.
The infection by Neisseria meningitis, named meningococcal disease (MD), can cause meningococcal meningitis and septicemia with or without meningitis. MD is an endemic disease in Brazil, however, has a high potential to cause epidemics and high case fatality which require immediate notification of the cases. The aims of this study were to describe an epidemi

12. Emergence of new clone of Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup C in Grande São Paulo, 1990 a 2003 / Descrição de um novo clone de Neisseria meningitidis Sorogrupo C, Grande São Paulo, 1990 a 2003
Neisseria meningitidis (Men) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality and is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis and septicemia in children and young adults in Brazil. Meningococcal disease caused by MenC started becoming the most prevalent serogroup in 2001, representing 62.7% of all MD cases serogrouped in 2003 in Greater Sao Paulo and approxim
