Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Chronic meningococcemia is an uncommon manifestation of meningococcal disease. Our objective was to asses whether a bacterial factor, a mutation in the lpxL1 gene resulting in underacylated lipopolysaccharide, might be important in chronic meningococcemia. METHODS: We identified 15 patients with chronic meningococcemia over a 50-year period. Chronic meningococcemia episodes were defined by a febrile...
