Meningococcal
What is Meningococcal?
Meningococcal disease is caused by a systemic infection by the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis. Meningococcal disease can cause both meningitis and septicaemia (blood poisoning). Septicaemia and meningitis can trigger sepsis, which is a life-threatening response to infection.
It can be spread through close contact with someone who is carrying the bacteria, such as through coughing, sneezing, kissing, or sharing eating and drinking utensils. Mass gatherings, such as religious pilgrimages, can increase the risk of transmission of the disease
