Name of journal: Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectivesAbstract: Within the past six years, a case of bothWaterhouse-Freidrichsen Syndrome and fulminant meningococcemia have presented to Union Memorial Hospital. Both cases presented in markedly different fashions, differed in microbiologic serogrouping, showed minimal histopathologic similarities; however achieved ultimately the same outcome through two different pathological pathways. The following case reports illustrate two mechanisms through which N. Meningitis may pathogenize a host, both leading to complete cardiovascular collapse in less than 12 hours.All authors: Mitsani D, Sarabchi F, Suniega E, Tabacco JFiscal year: FY2012Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2019-06-21
