<s>[INST] I was born w/ meningococcemia in 1978 at a military base in Nuremburg, West Germany. Because my mother died of Lupus when I was very young, I was never able to obtain much information about my then condition and the surrounding elements. If at all possible, can you please provide me with any details regarding the cause, symptoms and treatments that may have been provided to me 32 years ago when I born with this disease. Also, if you know of anything that may still affect me or any of my children due to my past history with meningococcemia, this info would be tremendously helpful.Thank you so much, in advance, for your time and assistance in his matter, It is greatly appreciated. [/INST] Thanks for your querymeningococcal disease is not present on birth ...you have contracted it immediately after birth due to infection with n meningitis. ...you would have been given proper antibiotic and resulting symptoms would have been treated with necessary measures such as blood and plat hey trans fusions. ... Once treated it had no lasting effects....neither it is transmitted from one generation to another after so many years </s>
