title: [Late sequelae of meningococcal infections in adults].
abstract: Long-term sequels of meningococcal infection were examined in 120 patients aged 16 to 73 years within periods of one month to 6 years after the disease. It was found that the meningococcal infection not infrequently left consequences, such as hypertensive (18%) and epileptiform (2%) syndromes, pyramid insufficiency (11%), impairments of the cranial nerves (8%), intellect derangement (12.5%), psychoorganic syndrome (3.3%). Regular dispensary observation and treatment of such patients in the residual period is a socially important task.
