Abstract
A case of pneumonia and empyema caused by Neisseria meningitidis is described in which the diagnosis was initially missed. Meningococcal pneumonia and empyema are rare. It is important to recognize unusual manifestations of meningococcal infection promptly because of the risk of spread to contacts including health care personnel and other patients.
