MENINGOCOCCEMIA

MENINGOCOCCEMIA Meningococcemia, unaccompanied by meningitis or with meningitis occurring as a late complication, has been reported infrequently in the American literature. Cases reported in the foreign journals outnumber those in America in the proportion of six to one. Four cases have been diagnosed at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. The first one was reported in 1924 by Dock,1 and the second by Marlow2 in 1929. My purpose in this paper is to report two additional cases. A repetition of the description of the disease, which has been so comprehensively presented in numerous papers, especially those of Chalier, Giraud and Morel,3 Bloedorn,4 Dock,1 Jacono,5 and Binns and Fothergill,6 seems no longer desirable in a communication of this kind. REPORT OF CASES Case 1.7— E. H., a white woman, aged 31, single, referred to the hospital, March 9, 1930, complained of intermittent chills, fever http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association

Abstract

Meningococcemia, unaccompanied by meningitis or with meningitis occurring as a late complication, has been reported infrequently in the American literature. Cases reported in the foreign journals outnumber those in America in the proportion of six to one. Four cases have been diagnosed at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. The first one was reported in 1924 by Dock,1 and the second by Marlow2 in 1929. My purpose in this paper is to report two additional cases. A repetition of the description of the disease, which has been so comprehensively presented in numerous papers, especially those of Chalier, Giraud and Morel,3 Bloedorn,4 Dock,1 Jacono,5 and Binns and Fothergill,6 seems no longer desirable in a communication of this kind. REPORT OF CASES Case 1.7— E. H., a white woman, aged 31, single, referred to the hospital, March 9, 1930, complained of intermittent chills, fever
