BACKGROUND
Meningococcal disease usually presents as meningitis and/or septicaemia, but can also present as pneumonia or arthritis. Since 2000, a worldwide increase in meningococcal disease is reported which is caused by a new virulent clone of serogroup W (MenW:cc11). This subtype is more likely to
Atypical clinical presentations associated with group W meningococcal disease (MenW) are well-described and include pneumonia, septic arthritis, endocarditis and epiglottitis/supraglottitis. Following anecdotal reports of teenagers presenting with predominantly gastrointestinal symptoms, we
On June 2, 2015, CDC was notified that a male airline passenger, aged 41 years, with a fever of 105.4°F, headache, nausea, photophobia, diarrhea, and vomiting, which began approximately 3 hours after departure, was arriving to San Francisco, California, on a flight from Frankfurt, Germany. His
Eculizumab has been developed as a breakthrough treatment for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Not only for breakthroughs, eculizumab therapy is also known to increase the risk of invasive meningococcal infection. It has also been recently reported that, although rarely, administration of
Background: Four-component meningococcal B (4CMenB) vaccine is licensed in many countries but has had limited use in adolescents despite this age group being at increased risk of meningococcal disease.
A high rate of side effects (mostly vestibular) was found among 83 people receiving prophylaxis with minocycline because of contact with a patient who had died of meningitis due to Neisseria meningitidis. Three groups of contacts received different lots of minocycline and different dosage regimens.
OBJECTIVE
The pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, indications, clinical efficacy, adverse effects, drug interactions, and dosage and administration of eculizumab are reviewed.
CONCLUSIONS
Eculizumab, a recombinant, humanized, monoclonal, immunoglobulin G antibody produced from murine myeloma cells, is
