Summaries for Meningococcemia

About this section
MalaCards based summary : Meningococcemia is related to meningococcal meningitis and neisseria meningitidis infection. An important gene associated with Meningococcemia is BPI (Bactericidal Permeability Increasing Protein), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Response to elevated platelet cytosolic Ca2+ and Cell surface interactions at the vascular wall. The drugs Vaccines and Immunologic Factors have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin, kidney and brain, and related phenotypes are Increased replication of vaccinia virus (VACV) and cardiovascular system
