N. Meningitidis serogroup (A, B, C), are main causers of disease. Serogroup W-135 incidence is lower nowadays and, although it is increasing, is such an uncommon infection in adults. We report a case of a monoarthritis knee due to Neisseria meningitidis ( W- 135 ) in an inmunocompetent 50 year- old male.
