Abstract
Neisseria meningitidis subgroup Y, although commonly isolated from the nasopharynx, rarely has caused meningitis in nonmilitary individuals. Meningococcus (serogroup Y) caused pneumonitis, meningitis, and arthritis in a previously healthy woman. Findings from examination of spinal fluid were minimal, but the clinical aspects of the illness were similar to those seen with other meningococcal serotypes.
