title: [Renal function in meningococcal infection. Analysis of 116 cases].
abstract: We study the renal function in meningococcal sepsis in other to get prognostic data in disease evolution. We include 116 patients of whom we take data of anamnesis; physical examination; blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid biochemical and microbiologic studies and TISS and APS score. We analyze qualitative and quantitative data of renal function statistical and we compare with another prognostic data of disease. We find that renal failure in meningococcal sepsis gets worse the prognostic of the disease.
