摘要：

A rare case of a 7-year-old boy with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C is presented. The diagnosis of osteomyelitis was made by bone scintigraphy and a blood culture confirmed meningococci as the cause of the disease. Meningococcal osteomyelitis is exceptionally rare and to our knowledge, serogroup C meningococci have not been previously reported as a cause.
