We describe 5 pediatric cases of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W135 infection. Infectious and/or reactive extrameningeal involvement was frequent. One patient had a persistent postmeningococcal inflammatory syndrome. Four of 5 isolates belonged to the clonal complex 37. The important risk of extrameningeal complications must be borne in mind when treating children with N. meningitidis W135 infection.
我们描述了5例W135群脑膜炎奈瑟菌感染的儿科病例。感染性和/或反应性脑膜外受累情况很常见。1例患者患有持续性脑膜炎球菌感染后炎症综合征。5株分离菌中有4株属于克隆复合体37。在治疗W135群脑膜炎奈瑟菌感染的儿童时,必须牢记脑膜外并发症的重大风险。
