Background and aims Patients with persistent deficiencies in the complement pathway have an increased risk for meningococcal infection and can experience recurrent disease. In this group we can include genetic deficiencies, functional or anatomic asp

Despite considerable advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of meningococcal disease, this infection remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The role of the complement system in innate immune defenses against invasive me

Invasive meningococcal disease is a world wide challenge. Most cases occur in immunocompetent children and young adults, but some immunodeficiencies are linked to a greater risk of invasive neisserial infections. One of these is complement component

SUMMARY The complement system comprises several fluid-phase and membrane-associated proteins. Under physiological conditions, activation of the fluid-phase components of complement is maintained under tight control and complement activation occurs pr

The complement system is composed of more than 30 serum and membrane-bound proteins, all of which are needed for normal function of complement in innate and adaptive immunity. Historically, deficiencies within the complement system have been suspecte

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the causative agent of gonorrhea, a disease restricted to humans. Complement forms a key arm of the innate immune system that combats gonococcal infections. N. gonorrhoeae uses its outer membrane porin (Por) molecules to bind

Meningococcal infection remains a worldwide health problem, and understanding the mechanisms by which Neisseria meningitidis evades host innate and acquired immunity is crucial. The complement system is vital for protecting individuals against N. men

The complement system is an important part of innate immunity providing immediate protection against pathogens without a need for previous exposure. Its importance is clearly shown by the fact that patients lacking complement components suffer from f

Genome-wide association studies have found variation within the complement factor H gene family links to host susceptibility to meningococcal disease caused by infection with Neisseria meningitidis (Davila et al., 2010). Mechanistic insights have bee

Chronic deficiencies in the complement pathway proteins are associated with an increased risk of meningococcal disease. Such deficiencies are caused by primary congenital immunodeficiency of a complement protein, properdin or mannose binding lectin,
