We describe a further case of acute urethritis caused by transmission of N. meningitidis occurring after a single sexual contact (fellatio) in a heterosexual man. The urethritis was initially diagnosed as being caused by N. gonorrhoeae on a presumptive basis, then attributed to N. meningitidis serogroup Y. This case shows the need of accurate diagnostic procedures in all cases resembling gonococcal urethritis.
