Cаse Study 2: An 85-yeаr-оld mаle is admitted tо the emergency rоom of a New York City hospital suffering from breathing difficulties and coughing. He had a high fever, cough, and chest pain. He had presented to his local physician 3 days previously complaining of fever, headache, malaise, and vague respiratory symptoms. A year ago he moved into a long-term care facility after his wife died and he has been suffering from Type 2 diabetes for the last thirty years. They collected sputum for culture and sensitivity. A gram stain indicated the presence of many white blood cells and pleomorphic gram-negative coccobacilli.

He told his mother that he felt feverish, and on the following morning his mother found him in bed, moaning and lethargic. He was brought to the emergency room, where he appeared toxic and drowsy, but oriented. His temperature was 40C, his heart rate was 126/min., and his blood pressure was 100/60 mm Hg. He had an impressive purpuric rash (bruise-like), not blanching, most prominent on his trunk, legs and wrists. A gram stain of the material taken from one of the patient's skin lesions showed gram-negative diplococci. His white blood cell count was 26,000/ml (high) with 25% band forms (high). The platelet count was 80,000/ml (low). Blood cultures were obtained and the patient was begun on intravenous Ceftriaxone. Blood cultures subsequently grew the organism seen on the gram stains of the lesions. Case Study 1 Question 1: What is the most likely diagnosis for this patient?
