What Are The Symptoms Of Meningococcemia?

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.
