Giant coronary artery aneurysm formation following meningococcal septicaemia.

Abstract

We report a case of coronary vasculitis with formation of giant coronary artery aneurysms in a child following meningococcal septicemia. We suggest that coronary vasculitis is a rare complication of meningococcal septicemia that should be included in the list of conditions known to elicit a Kawasaki-like inflammatory response.
