Cases of meningococcal conjunctivitis occurring in Denmark in the period 1982-1991 were reviewed. In a survey of laboratory reports, ten cases were identified. The meningococcal strains were characterized by serological grouping, typing and subtyping, and by antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Five cases were caused by serogroup B meningococci (B:15:P1.16, B:15:P1.6, B:4:P1.15) and five cases by serogroup C meningococci (C:2a:P1.2 (4 strains), C:14:NST). The median age of the patients was 12.5 months (range 7 days to 9 years). Signs of conjunctivitis were predominant; in addition, five of the patients had fever and general malaise. In one patient the same strain was recovered from blood and eye secretions. None of the patients had signs of meningitis. All meningococcal strains isolated from patients with meningococcal conjunctivitis were assumed to be virulent and had the same characteristics as strains causing meningococcal disease in Denmark within the same period.
回顾了1982年至1991年期间在丹麦发生的脑膜炎球菌性结膜炎病例。在对实验室报告的一项调查中，确定了10例病例。通过血清学分群、分型和亚型分型以及抗菌药物敏感性测试对脑膜炎球菌菌株进行了鉴定。5例由B群脑膜炎球菌（B:15:P1.16、B:15:P1.6、B:4:P1.15）引起，5例由C群脑膜炎球菌（C:2a:P1.2（4株）、C:14:NST）引起。患者的中位年龄为12.5个月（范围为7天至9岁）。结膜炎症状为主；此外，5名患者有发热和全身不适。1名患者的血液和眼分泌物中分离出相同菌株。所有患者均无脑膜炎体征。从脑膜炎球菌性结膜炎患者分离出的所有脑膜炎球菌菌株均被认为具有致病性，并且与同期在丹麦引起脑膜炎球菌病的菌株具有相同特征。
