We present the first reported case of systemic infection with Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W-135 sequence type (ST)-11 in Japan. A 44-year-old woman presented with high fever, sore throat, and fatigue and was diagnosed with N. meningitidis bacteremia. The causative strain was identified as serogroup W-135 ST-11 by polymerase chain reaction and multilocus sequence typing. Approximately 1 month after treatment, she developed high fever, dyspnea, chest pain, and shoulder pain due to pericarditis, polyarthritis, and tenosynovitis, which are all relatively common immunoreactive complications of W-135 ST-11 meningococcal infections. This causative strain was the same as that responsible for an outbreak of meningitis among Hajj pilgrims in 2000. The strain is now found worldwide because it can attain a high carriage rate and has a long duration of carriage. We suspect that our patient's infection was acquired from an imported chronic carrier.
