Making the Diagnosis
Aim of this section
This section aims to help doctors, especially doctors in training, to avoid some of the common pitfalls in recognising and treating children with meningococcal disease. It is not a fail-safe diagnostic package: since no symptom is entirely specific to this disease, many children with the symptoms described will not have MD. We hope to prompt doctors to ask "could this be meningococcal disease?” when assessing a child in the Emergency Department or on the wards where the diagnosis is in doubt.
