A case of septicaemia due to Neisseria catarrhalis occurring in an immunosuppressed individual is described. The clinical syndrome closely resembled that of N. meningitidis septicaemia. The potential pathogenicity in the immunosuppressed patient, of organisms usually considered harmless is stressed.Keywords
