Abstract

A 62-year-male presented a high fever and a dry cough during a trip to Australia. He was admitted to a hospital as soon as be returned to Japan. The next day after returning to Japan, he was transferred to our hospital with septic shock and loss of consciousness. Neisseria meningitidis was cultured from his blood. N. meningitidis is rare in Japan. However its seems common, in some foreign countries. With these findings, it can be postulated that N. meningitides might be one of the etiological agents of the imported infectious disease.
