Hаnnаh is а 15-mоnth-оld girl frоm Washington state who is spending the summer in Gambia with her parents. Three weeks after arrival, she developed diminished appetite, fatigue, confusion, irritability (especially outdoors in the daytime), vomiting, and a stiff neck. At the clinic, her reflexes appeared slow, and she was very light sensitive. Her physician suspected meningitis and advised immediate hospital admission in Banjul. Upon arrival, Hannah was given ceftriaxone empirically, before laboratory results were available, because of the life-threatening nature of bacterial meningitis. Laboratory testing included Gram stain of blood and CSF samples, which showed bean-shaped gram-negative diplococci. The organism grew as gray, nonhemolytic colonies on both blood agar and chocolate agar. It was oxidase positive. Sugar utilization testing revealed positive results for glucose and maltose, but negative results for lactose and sucrose. These findings are consistent with Neisseria meningitidis. 1. Which of Hannah’s symptoms most strongly suggests central nervous system involvement? [color1] 2. Which Gram stain finding is consistent with Neisseria meningitidis? [color2] 3. Why did Hannah’s doctors begin antibiotic treatment before receiving laboratory confirmation? [color3] 4. Which biochemical test result helped identify the pathogen as N. meningitidis? [color4] 5. Why was biochemical testing used instead of DNA-based molecular analysis in this case? [color5]
