title: [Meningococcus meningitis nursing intervention from an epidemiological perspective].
abstract: Meningitis is an infectious process which can be caused by diverse infectious agents. Among these, Neisseria meningitides or meningococcus is the mot relevant in our environs due to its high degree of incidence and its mortality; especially in recent years, the C sera group is increasing its incidences, particularly in children aged one to four so this type of meningitis has become one of the most preventive types and therefore, treatable from a nursing perspective. It is important to know the epidemiological sequence in order to be able to provide an efficient and effective treatment at every stage of its development.
