Abstract

Neisseria subflava, a gram-negative diplococcus, is a natural inhabitant of the mucus membranes of the upper respiratory tract. We report an unusual case of N. subflava septicemia and meningitis in a 20-month-old child. N. subflava is recognized on the basis of its colony morphology, pigment production, and by the fermentative patterns of glucose, maltose and sucrose. A review of the literature and discussion is also presented.
