A possibility of using the passive hemagglutination test with meningococcus diagnostic agents of groups A and C for observing the changes in the infectious process was demonstrated. Sera of patients with generalized form of meningococcus infection showed an increase (by the 2nd--3rd week) and a rapid reduction (by the 4th week) of the specific antibodies titres to the levels seen during the first days of the disease. At the remote periods after the disease--in 2 to 5 years--hemagglutinins were revealed in the same titres as in healthy persons (1:10--1:13). Study of physico-chemical nature of antibodies demonstrated that at the early stages of meningococcus infection there formed antibodies referred chiefly to macroglobulins, and at the remote periods (after 3 months)--to microglobulins.

D008585 Meningitis, Meningococcal A fulminant infection of the meninges and subarachnoid fluid by the bacterium NEISSERIA MENINGITIDIS, producing diffuse inflammation and peri-meningeal venous thromboses. Clinical manifestations include FEVER, nuchal rigidity, SEIZURES, severe HEADACHE, petechial rash, stupor, focal neurologic deficits, HYDROCEPHALUS, and COMA. The organism is usually transmitted via nasopharyngeal secretions and is a leading cause of meningitis in children and young adults. Organisms from Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, B, C, Y, and W-135 have been reported to cause meningitis.
