Core Tip We present the case of a 2-year-old patient who died suddenly with the signs of meningococcal septicemia. No etiological factor of the septicemia could be identified based on macro- and microscopic findings during an autopsy carried out seven days postmortem. However, the genetic material of group W Neisseria meningitidis was detected in cerebrospinal fluid samples based on polymerase chain reaciton (PCR). Our observations imply that microbiological PCR can be helpful in medicolegal practice, especially when an autopsy is delayed and the results of conventional bacteriological examination are unavailable or seem controversial.
