Abstract excerpt

A case of familial meningococcal meningitis is described, which involved a 18-year old boy, his mother, and his grandfather, from who all three suffered from meningococcal disease at about similar age (17-19 y), albeit with one or two generations in between. By studying the genetic variants of MBL, we found out that all three family members described carried the B, D variant mbl genes instead of the homozygous...
