Waldenstr?m's Disease Complicated by Recurrent Meningococcal Arthritis

摘要

Meningococcal arthritis is rare. We report a patient in whom a first episode of meningococcal arthritis revealed Waldenstr?m's disease and who experienced a second episode of meningococcal arthritis 8 years later. We suggest that an impaired immune response secondary to Waldenstr?m's disease favored the recurrence of meningococcal arthritis.
