  • Title: Neonatal meningococcal conjunctivitis associated with meningococcal meningitis.
    Author: Ellis M, Weindling AM, Davidson DC, Ho N, Damjanovic V.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1992 Oct; 67(10 Spec No):1219-20. PubMed ID: 1444566.
    Abstract:
    Two infants are described in whom identical strains of meningococcus were isolated from both the eyes and the cerebrospinal fluid. This suggests that the eye may be a portal of entry in at least some cases of perinatally acquired neonatal meningococcal disease and has important implications for the management of purulent conjunctivitis in the newborn.
