Meningococcal Meningitis: A fulminant infection of the meninges and subarachnoid fluid by the bacterium neisseria meningitidis, producing diffuse inflammation and peri-meningeal venous thromboses. Clinical manifestations include fever, nuchal rigidity, seizures, severe headache, petechial rash, stupor, focal neurologic deficits, hydrocephalus, and coma.
