                    [Summary] => Meningococcemia is back in the news after it reportedly claimed the life of a woman in Pasay City and that of a young girl in Davao City. The cases are not a cause for alarm but the Infection Control Unit of St. Luke’s Medical Center has issued a health alert to make the public more aware about the ailment and how it can be prevented.


Meningococcemia is an infection of the blood by the bacteria Nesseria meningitides. This is a gram-negative diplococcus and there are five serogroups that cause almost all invasive diseases: A, B, C, Y and W-135.
