Low levels of factor h family proteins during meningococcal disease indicate systemic processes rather than specific depletion by neisseria meningitidis

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Anna E. van Beek from the University of Trieste, Italy have published the paper: Low Levels of Factor H Family Proteins During Meningococcal Disease Indicate Systemic Processes Rather Than Specific Depletion by Neisseria meningitidis, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: Cases included in this study had microbiologically confirmed MD and had acute serum samples taken during hospitalization, and a serum sample taken after convalescence (in survivors, n=91). Following what has previously been found in_vitro for N. meningitidis , where small changes in FH levels greatly affect survival, the authors propose that a balanced concentration of . . .
