Rationale 3: Nuchal rigidity is a symptom of meningococcus.
Rationale 4: Vomiting is a symptom of other neurological disorders but is not a primary symptom of meningococcal infection.
Rationale 5: Headache is a symptom of meningococcus.
Global Rationale: Early meningococcal infection is very difficult to discriminate from other viral or bacterial infections, because it initially presents with nonspecific fever and rash; frequently symptoms appear less than 24 hours before individuals are hospitalized. Neurologic symptoms rapidly develop, including nuchal rigidity, headache, photophobia, and seizures. Vomiting is a symptom of other neurological disorders but is not a primary symptom of meningococcal infection.
