A retrospective study was conducted to provide a description of the risk, complications, fatality, and sequelae associated with invasive meningococcal disease in college students ad-mitted in the Allegheny county (Pennsylvania) hospital sys-tem from January 1990 to May 1999. Recent studies have found an increased risk of invasive me-ningococcal disease (IMD) among college students, particularly among those staying in campus dormitories [1, 2]. A high fatality rate and high frequency and gravity of sequelae in sur-vivors of IMD due to serogroup C Neisseria meningitidis were documented in Canada [3], but no survey has specifically ad-dressed this question in the United States. The present study aims to provide a picture of complications of IM...
