Meningococcemia in a patient coinfected with hepatitis C virus and HIV.

C G Nelson1, M A Iler, C W Woods, J A Bartlett, V G Fowler.   

Abstract

We describe the first reported case of meningococcemia in a patient coinfected with hepatitis C virus and HIV. Hypocomplementemia secondary to hepatic dysfunction may have enhanced the patient's susceptibility to meningococcal infection.
