    Thirty-eight cases of infections due to Neisseria meningitidis serogroup Y have been studied. They correspond to the strains sent to the Laboratory (Centre National de Référence since 1987). Their repartition was: meningitidis 9 cases, purpura fulminans (6), septicaemia (5), respiratory syndroms (11), asymptomatic carriage (4), various (3). Patients were 4 months to 86 years old. Mortality was 13.2%. One third or meningitis or meningococcemia happened in correlation with complement deficiency or splenectomy.
