A case of primary meningococcal arthritis in the left hip of a nineteen year-old female is described. The diagnosis was based on microscopical detection of Gram-negative diplococci and a positive meningococcal antibody-test. Treatment with benzylpenicilline and drainage was instituted. Although she was soon asymptomatic, the X-ray examination showed a slight destruction of the hip joint. One and a half years later the X-ray findings were normal. Attention is directed to the broad clinical spectrum of meningococcal disease.
本文描述了一例19岁女性左髋原发性脑膜炎球菌性关节炎病例。诊断依据是显微镜下检测到革兰氏阴性双球菌以及脑膜炎球菌抗体检测呈阳性。采用苄青霉素治疗并进行了引流。尽管她很快就没有症状了，但X线检查显示髋关节有轻微破坏。一年半后，X线检查结果恢复正常。文中提请注意脑膜炎球菌病广泛的临床谱。
