Abstract
Two epidemiologically unrelated cases of bacteremic meningococcal pneumonia are reported. Both patients were civilians without antecedent viral illness. The organism involved was Neisseria meningitidis, Group W-135, a serogroup of rapidly increasing importance in the United States. The difficulties in diagnosis and scope of meningococcal pneumonia are discussed.Entities:
