[Meningococcal disease: early clinical diagnosis and emergency care].
Late diagnosis of meningococcal disease leads to high mortality. Early diagnosis of its generalized forms plays a crucial role in the pre-hospital phase and mainly based on the clinical picture of the disease. In most cases, pre-hospital typical mistake is late diagnosis of meningococcal disease: We propose an algorithm of early diagnosis of generalized forms of the disease in order to reduce the number of diagnostic errors. Proper and timely diagnosis will enable the physician pre-hospital fully implement measures to provide emergency and urgent care in generalized meningococcal infection, leading to. a more.favourable course and a significant improvement in the outcomes of the disease in the course of further hospital treatment.
