L’infection à méningocoque est une maladie aiguë potentiellement grave causée par la bactérie Neisseria meningitidis (N. meningitidis). Une maladie que l’on croit être l’infection à méningocoque été rapportée pour la première fois dans la littérature au 16e siècle. L’infection à méningocoque est une des principales causes de méningite d’origine bactérienne et de septicémie dans les pays développés et demeure une cause majeure d’épidémies en Afrique subsaharienne. Même dans les pays développés où les traitements appropriés sont prodigués, de 6 à 10 % des cas entraînent la mort; les survivants sont nombreux à subir des séquelles durables.
