Genetic variation and cerebrospinal fluid levels of mannose binding lectin in pneumococcal meningitis patients.
It has been suggested that genetic variants in mannose binding lectin (MBL2) influence susceptibility and outcome of invasive pneumococcal disease. We assessed the influence of genetic variation in MBL2 on susceptibility, outcome and causative serotype of pneumococcal meningitis in a prospective nat...
