International audience. We reported the case of a child who died of purpura fulminans. The diagnosis of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C could be assessed using postmortem specimens collected up to 10 h after death. We were able to identify the bacteria by culture and/or PCR on samples without having autopsy performed. Soluble antigens were also detected in serum.
