  • Title: Meningococcal meningitis: an atypical case.
    Author: Mendelson J, Portnoy J, Libman I.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1974 Sep 21; 111(6):549-50. PubMed ID: 4213244.
    Abstract:
    A case of meningococcal meningitis is described in a patient who had not received antibiotics before admission. Three lumbar punctures were performed over a seven-day period, but only the cerebrospinal fluid from the third yielded a positive culture. The importance of repeated lumbar punctures in patients with undiagnosed meningitis is emphasized.
