Abstract excerpt
Two cases of laboratory-acquired infections due to Neisseria meningitidis were suspected to have occurred in two French hospitals. The first case occurred shortly, i.e., 3 days, after one strain had been handled by a laboratory technician, and the link between this strain and the strain causing meningitis was easily established. In the second case, infection occurred 3 weeks after 10 strains had been handled by a...
