Meningococcal pericarditis is classically divided into three separate entities isolated meningococcal pericarditis, disseminated meningococcal disease with pericarditis, and reactive (immunopathic) meningococcal pericarditis. We present the case of a 74-year-old woman with meningococcal septicaemia with meningococcal myopericarditis, which demonstrates crossover features.
