Purpura fulminans
Meningococcal meningitis v 13 serogroups; A/B/C/Y/W 135 - nearly all diseases v A (C); third-world countries v B & C; industrialized (90% in US) v Endemic rates are low but epidemics ! v meningitis, septicemia, septic shock with MOF v Mortality is still > 10% (septicemia 40%) v No other infection so quickly kills ! 사망자 1/2은 첫 증상 후 24시간 내 사망 사망자 1/3은 입원 후 6시간 내 사망 생존자의 11~19%는 후유증이 남음
왜 신병에서 발생하나? v Age of high risk; < 4 & 15 ~ 24 years old v Diverse geographic areas & strains v Crowded living conditions v In US Army, vaccination since 1971 v Dormitory of US College in 1998 ~ 99 2. 2 / 100, 000 / yr vs. 1. 4 of same age group
