Meningococcemia in a patient coinfected with hepatitis C virus and HIV.
Abstract
We describe the first reported case of meningococcemia in a patient coinfected with
hepatitis C virus and HIV. Hypocomplementemia secondary to hepatic dysfunction may
have enhanced the patient's susceptibility to meningococcal infection.
