Nursing Care Plans For Meningococcal Infections. Two major meningococcal infections, meningitis and meningococcemia, are caused by the gram-negative bacteria Neisseria meningitidis, which also causes primary pneumonia, purulent conjunctivitis, endocarditis, sinusitis, and genital infection. Meningococcemia occurs as simple bacteremia, fulminating meningococcemia and, rarely, chronic meningococcemia. It commonly accompanies meningitis. Meningococcal infections may occur sporadically or in epidemics; particularly virulent infections may be fatal within a matter of hours.
