title: [The persistence after clinical recovery and the suspension of therapy of altered ESR values in a case of meningococcal sepsis and septic shock].
abstract: The paper describes a case of meningococcal sepsis and septic shock treated with Ceftriazone, Dexamethosone, plasma and heparin. It was observed that contrary to other hematological parameters, ESR levels remained high for one month after the suspension of antibiotic therapy and complete clinical recovery. The authors relate this alteration of ESR values to the administration of plasma during the acute phase of the disease.
