摘要：
Two cases of meningococcal endocarditis are described. An 84-year-old man developed sepsis and septic shock and died 15 h after admission to the department. The autopsy revealed aortic endocarditis. Blood and vegetation culture yielded Neisseria meningitidis B:16:P1.5. A 37-year-old man was admitted for fever and rash lasting several weeks. Endocarditis of the bicuspid aortic valve caused by N. meningitidis C:2a:P1.2,5 was found. The patient was successfully treated with penicillin G for 4 weeks. Brief epidemiologic characteristics of invasive meningococcal disease in the Czech Republic are given.
