Loaded question: In healthcare we know not to use the terms always and never. We just don't know the possibilities. The basic answer to your question is yes. I have seen a kid with meningococcal meningitis/sepsis go into total organ failure and die within 12 hours. I've only seen something similar twice in 4 decades. Rare but possible.
