Abstract excerpt

We describe a case of meningococcal bloodstream infection complicated by purpura fulminans in a 49-year-old woman in Tunisia in May 2025, caused by a ciprofloxacin-resistant Neisseria meningitidis. The patient presented with rapidly progressive purpura and septic shock requiring intensive care and empirical cefotaxime therapy. Blood cultures, molecular testing, and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) were investigated...
