Meningococcal disease starts with the organism🧫🔵🔬⚠️

Neisseria meningitidis is a Gram-negative, encapsulated diplococcus that can be carried asymptomatically in the nasopharynx by up to 24% of young adults, peaking between ages 18-20. A small proportion of N meningitidis strains can rapidly transition from commensal to invasive pathogen, leading to meningitis and septicemia with high morbidity and mortality.

🚨 A notifiable disease in the UK, understanding the organism is central to prevention strategies, including targeted vaccination and outbreak control.

?🔎
A 65-year-old woman presents to her primary care physician with a 4-month history of intermittent abdominal pain localised to the right upper quadrant (RUQ) with radiation to the epigastrium; the pain increases with the ingestion of fatty food and decreases with fasting. In the last 2 weeks the pain has been more frequent and steady. The patient complains of nausea, pruritus, anorexia, and weight loss, which she relates to the lack of appetite. At physical examination, there is RUQ tenderness and jaundice of the conjunctival sclera. No lymphadenopathy or palpable masses are found.
