4.1 Protocol A: Action for a single case of possible meningococcal meningitis
A Possible case is a clinical diagnosis of meningococcal meningitis or septicaemia without microbiological confirmation where the public health doctor considers that diagnoses other then meningococcal meningitis are at least as likely. No public health measures are necessary and contacts do not need preventive antibiotics unless or until further evidence emerges that changes the diagnostic category.
