Abstract (English): Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a severe infectious pathology with high mortality and morbidity. Meningitis is the most typical presentation. Meningo coccal pneumonia is an infrequent but relevant clinical presentation, mainly associated with advanced age. Given its clinical and epidemiological implications, a mi crobiological diagnosis is essential. The need for lumbar puncture in this group of patients is a matter of debate between some groups of experts. Here, we present a case of meningococcal pneumonia in Argentina and provide a bibliographical review on this topic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La neumonía meningocócica es una presentación clínica poco frecuente pero relevante, asociada principalmente a edades avanzadas. Dada sus implicaciones clínicas y epidemiológicas, es esencial un diagnóstico microbioló gico. La necesidad de una punción lumbar en este grupo de pacientes es un tema de debate entre algunos grupos de expertos. Aquí, presentamos un caso de neumonía meningocócica en Argentina y proporcionamos una revisión bibliográfica sobre este tema. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
