Abstract

In five cases of meningitis or septicemia in children, the causative organism was Neisseria subflava. The organism is similar to N meningitidis. Only one previous case of meningitis caused by N subflava in a child has been found in the literature, but this organism may be more commonly pathogenic than has been thought. The clinical findings and course are not unlike those of septicemia and meningitis due to N meningitidis.

摘要

在5例儿童脑膜炎或败血症病例中，致病微生物为微黄奈瑟菌。该微生物与脑膜炎奈瑟菌相似。文献中仅发现1例此前由微黄奈瑟菌引起的儿童脑膜炎病例，但这种微生物可能比人们认为的更具致病性。临床症状和病程与脑膜炎奈瑟菌所致败血症和脑膜炎并无不同。
