  • Title: Ophthalmia neonatorum due to Branhamella (Neisseria) catarrhalis. Case reports.
    Author: Garvey RJ, Reed TA.
    Journal: Br J Vener Dis; 1981 Oct; 57(5):346-7. PubMed ID: 7296256.
    Abstract:
    In two cases of conjunctivitis in neonates Branhamella (Neisseria) catarrhalis was identified as the causative organism. A misdiagnosis of gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum would have been made in both cases if the diagnosis had been based on morphological grounds alone. Thus, full identification of the pathogen in cases of neonatal conjunctivitis is important to avoid the medical and social consequences of a misdiagnosis of gonorrhoea.
