Coming soonMeningococcemia is a life-threatening, acute bloodstream infection caused by the bacterium *Neisseria meningitidis*.
The systemic dissemination predominantly impacts the vascular endothelium and hematologic system, commonly presenting in infants, adolescents, and immunocompromised individuals.
Pathophysiologically, high bacterial loads and endotoxin release induce widespread endothelial injury, hypercoagulability, and severe capillary leak.
It clinically manifests as sudden-onset fever, rapid hemodynamic collapse, and a characteristic non-blanching petechial or purpuric rash that can rapidly progress to purpura fulminans, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and multiorgan failure.
