Abstract EN
Primary meningococcal meningitis is an infrequent but known disease.
However, the infection of a prosthetic joint with Neisseria meningitidis is rare.
We hereby describe the second case of an arthroplasty infected with Neisseria meningitidis that responded favourably to prosthesis retention with surgical debridement, in combination with antibiotics treatment.
