All but one patient received steroids. The sera of most of the patients (34 of 41 [82.9%]) lacked bactericidal activity against serogroup A. Some patients showed bactericidal activity against serogroups C, W-135, and Y (63.4%, 56.1%, and 61.0%, respectively). There were no significant differences in the geometric mean indices based on complement consumption state or anti-double-stranded DNA antibody positivity.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Although the sera of some patients exhibited serum bactericidal activity against meningococci, most remained seronegative. It is important that patients with SLE at risk of meningococcal infection receive appropriate vaccinations. Our findings serve as baseline serological data for meningococcal vaccination policies for patients with SLE.</p>","PeriodicalId":36018,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":"362-369"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12062383/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142984888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
