Answer:
Meningococcal disease is caused by a bacterium called Neisseria meningitides. There are different serogroups of meningococci. Serogroups A, B, C, W and Y are the most frequent cause of disease worldwide, while serogroups B, C and Y are the most frequent cause of disease in the United States.
Explanation:
Meningococcal germ is spread by direct contact with the nasal or pharyngeal secretions of an infected person, that is, coughing, kissing or sneezing very close to other people, or also when people live together. Only people who have been in close contact (family unit members, intimate contacts, health care staff, etc.) should be considered for preventive treatment. These people are advised to obtain a prescription for an antibiotic, such as rifampin, ciprofloxacin or ceftriaxone. The casual contact that can occur in a regular class, in the office or in a factory environment and is usually not important enough to be of concern, so it will depend on whether the lady considers that she was in contact with some of the previously anticipated risk factors.
