CASE REPORT
An atypical form of infantile meningococcal meningitis
Summary
We describe a rare case of infantile meningococcal (serotype B) meningitis in a 3-month-old Chinese boy with an atypical indolent presentation with prolonged persistent fever despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy likely due to drug fever. The case highlights the need for continued vigilance in identifying similar cases in the future.
