Q

a 14-year-old girl who was sent home from school because she had a fever of 38°C, a severe headache, neck stiffness, and was falling asleep in class. When her fever rose to 40°C, her mother took her to the emergency room, where a blood pressure of 60/20 and several petechial hemorrhages were found. Gram-negative diplococci were seen in a Gram stain of the spinal fluid.
• What is the causative agent?
