The immunopathogenesis of meningococcal disease.

Journal of clinical pathology - 1 Jun 2003

Kvalsvig A J, Unsworth D J

Abstract excerpt

This review describes the mechanisms of the immune response to meningococcal disease, examining the extent to which individual variation of the immune response can determine susceptibility. It concludes by summarising the difficulties encountered by recent efforts to develop new immunomodulatory treatments.
