RESUMO
We report an unusual case of endocarditis caused by Neisseria elongata subsp. elongata. The illness was complicated by a ruptured mycotic aneurysm of the right brachial artery, with compression of the brachial plexus. A cure was achieved after aneurysm resection and treatment with intravenous ceftriaxone and gentamicin.
