Abstract
Neisseria sicca has been reported to cause bacterial meningitis, endocarditis, pneumonia, and spondylitis. Surgical drainage from a Bartholin's gland abscess contained N. sicca in pure culture. Neisseria species recovered from cerebrospinal fluid and gynecologic specimens must be carefully examined to avoid misidentification as meningococci or gonococci.
