| Abstract | Neisseria meningitidis has not been seen as a significant cause of infectious haemorrhagic fever in the Amazon
inlands; most reported cases are from the city of Manaus, the capital of the State of Amazonas. This picture is
sustained by the lack of reliable microbiology laboratories, the perception of the health care workers, and the
difficult to reach medical assistance; thus the number of confirmed cases is even lower with no reference of the
strains phenotype. We report here the investigation of a case of suspected meningococcemia and his close contacts
in a rural community in the Coari Lake, up the Amazon River. | pt_BR |
