Department of Pediatric Disciplines, North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences, Room no. 218, PO: Mawdiangdiang, Shillong, Meghalaya, 793018, India, AbstractThe convalescence phase of severe meningococcal sepsis is complicated by immune complex reactions with arthritis being the commonest.
