Meningococcal neonatal conjunctivitis is an extremely rare disease. We report a case of neonatal meningococcal sepsis\/conjunctivitis and asymptomatic carriage of<jats:italic> N. meningitidis<\/jats:italic> from both parents (vagina and nasopharynx). As part of our active surveillance for meningococcal disease at the Tijuana General Hospital (TGH), Mexico, we identified a 3-day-old newborn with meningococcal conjunctivitis and sepsis. The patient had a one-day history of conjunctivitis and poor feeding. Clinical examination confirmed profuse purulent conjunctival discharge, as well as clinical signs and laboratory findings suggestive of bacteraemia. Gram stain from conjunctival exudate revealed intracellular Gram negative diplococci; we presumed the baby had gonorrheal conjunctivitis; however, serogroup Y,<jats:italic> N. meningitidis<\/jats:italic> was isolated both from conjunctival exudate and blood. Additionally, isolation of serogroup Y,<jats:italic> N. meningitidis<\/jats:italic> was obtained from mother\u2019s vagina and both parents\u2019 nasopharynx. The baby was treated with 7 days of IV ceftriaxone and discharged with no sequelae.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/6132857","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,6]],"date-time":"2017-03-06T16:03:05Z","timestamp":1488816185000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Meningococcal Neonatal Purulent Conjunctivitis\/Sepsis and Asymptomatic Carriage of<i> N. meningitidis<\/i> in Mother\u2019s Vagina and Both Parents\u2019 Nasopharynx"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2466-4920","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Enrique","family":"Chacon-Cruz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Hospital General de Tijuana, Tijuana, BC, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jorge Arturo","family":"Alvelais-Palacios","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, CISALUD Campus, Tecate, BC, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaime Alfonso","family":"Rodriguez-Valencia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Hospital General de Tijuana, Tijuana, BC, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erika Zoe","family":"Lopatynsky-Reyes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Hospital General de Tijuana, Tijuana, BC, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Luisa","family":"Volker-Soberanes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Hospital General de Tijuana, Tijuana, BC, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosa Maria","family":"Rivas-Landeros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Hospital General de Tijuana, Tijuana, BC, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3201\/eid1703.101254"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2051013614526592"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2051013616650158"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0009922808320978"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007435-200101000-00007"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000992288702600908"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.67.10_Spec_No.1219"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0009922807310248"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0301-2115(97)00098-5"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/clinids\/12.5.838"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Infectious Diseases"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2017\/6132857.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2017\/6132857.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2017\/6132857.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,6]],"date-time":"2017-03-06T16:03:05Z","timestamp":1488816185000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/criid\/2017\/6132857\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017]]},"references-count":10,"alternative-id":["6132857","6132857"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2017\/6132857","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6625","2090-6633"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6625","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6633","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017]]}}}
