Staphylococcal septicemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis mimicking meningococcemia
Arch Intern Med.

Abstract
Two patients with acute endocarditis attributable to Staphylococcus aureus had a clinical syndrome similar to meningococcemia with meningitis. That fulminant S aureus septicemia may on occasion be associated with hemorrhagic skin lesions, thrombocytopenia, coagulation abnormalities, and meningitis is emphasized.
