Abstract
Neisseria meningitidis is a bacterium known to cause 5-10 years cyclical epidemic meningitis in the meningitic belt of Africa. In these case reports, we highlight the multi-systemic manifestations and management challenges of acute meningococcemia, a rare life threatening complication of epidemic meningitis.
