Answer 1

The most likely sequence of events involved in the pathogenesis of Meningococcal meningitis are as follows:-

1. N. meningitidis enters and attaches to the nasopharyngeal epithelium.

2. The organism passeges through the mucosa & enters the blood.

3. N. meningitidis crosses the Blood brain barrier (BBB).

4. A massive influx of polymorphonuclear cells leads to increased pressure in the brain.

5. Hearing, vision and motor skills impaired.
