Serogroup Y meningococci are more frequently respiratory pathogens than one might suppose from their prevalence in meningitis and septicemia. A case of a peracute fatal septicemia caused by group Y meningococci is reported here in which post mortem hemorrhagic lesions of the pharyngeal, laryngeal and tracheal mucosae as well as a beginning pneumonia and pleurisy have been found. The association of meningococcal and respiratory viral infections is discussed.
Y群脑膜炎球菌作为呼吸道病原体比根据其在脑膜炎和败血症中的流行率所推测的更为常见。本文报告了一例由Y群脑膜炎球菌引起的超急性致命败血症病例，尸检发现咽喉和气管黏膜有出血性病变以及早期肺炎和胸膜炎。文中还讨论了脑膜炎球菌感染与呼吸道病毒感染的关联。
