Özet

Meningococcic meningitis is still a serious infection with high rates of morbidity and mortality. It is associated with severe complications. In recent years ocular complications have occurred less frequently, and endophthalmitis has been recognized as a rare complication. We present a case of meningococcic meningitis complicated by endophthalmitis.
