Complement deficient patients are susceptible to rare meningococcal serogroups. A 6-year-old girl presented with serogroup Z meningitis. This led to identification of a C8 deficiency. The MenB-4C vaccine induced cross-reactive antibodies to serogroup Z and increased in vitro opsonophagocytic killing and may thus protect complement deficient patients.
补体缺陷患者易感染罕见的脑膜炎奈瑟菌血清群。一名 6 岁女孩患 Z 群脑膜炎。这导致 C8 缺陷的鉴定。MenB-4C 疫苗诱导针对 Z 群的交叉反应性抗体,并增加体外调理吞噬杀伤作用,因此可能保护补体缺陷患者。
