Meningoccal septicaemia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meningoccal septicaemia is a form of blood poisoning[1]. It is caused by the release of toxins into the blood that break down the walls of blood vessels. A rash can develop under the skin due to blood leakage that may leave red or brownish pin prick spots [2].
