Meningococcal infections of the urogenital tract were considered rare until recently, but over the past few years an increasing number of cases of this hitherto uncommon infection have been reported. The rising incidence of N. meningitidis isolated from these sites has important epidemiological implications. The need for careful diagnostic procedures is emphasized.

D009345 Neisseria meningitidis A species of gram-negative, aerobic BACTERIA. It is a commensal and pathogen only of humans, and can be carried asymptomatically in the NASOPHARYNX. When found in cerebrospinal fluid it is the causative agent of cerebrospinal meningitis (MENINGITIS, MENINGOCOCCAL). It is also found in venereal discharges and blood. There are at least 13 serogroups based on antigenic differences in the capsular polysaccharides; the ones causing most meningitis infections being A, B, C, Y, and W-135. Each serogroup can be further classified by serotype, serosubtype, and immunotype.
