    Author: Rudolf T, Gerber AU.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1988 Mar 26; 118(12):434-7. PubMed ID: 3131873.
    Abstract:
    We report on a 68-year-old female patient with subacute septicemia caused by Neisseria meningitidis type C. While under adequate antibiotic therapy on the 10th day after onset of the initial symptoms, she developed pericarditis with impending cardiac tamponade. The administration of high-dose steroid therapy brought about an immediate improvement in the clinical picture.
