Despite the multiple organ involvement seen in meningococcal disease, there is little in the literature to support gastrointestinal symptoms as the predominant finding. In the past year four patients with meningococcemia and meningitis presented with gastrointestinal symptoms. In three cases the gastrointestinal findings were of such severity that the diagnosis of meningococcemia was obscured.
尽管在脑膜炎球菌病中可见多器官受累，但文献中几乎没有证据支持胃肠道症状为主要表现。在过去一年里，有4例患脑膜炎球菌血症和脑膜炎的患者出现了胃肠道症状。在3例病例中，胃肠道症状严重到掩盖了脑膜炎球菌血症的诊断。
