It has a high mortality rate if untreated but is vaccine-preventable. While best known as a cause of [[meningitis]], it can also result in [[sepsis]], which is an even more damaging and dangerous condition. Meningitis and meningococcemia are major causes of illness, death, and disability in both developed and under-developed countries. see [[Meningococcal meningitis]] meningococcal_disease.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:51by 127.0.0.1
