A. Peripheral circulatory collapse. Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome is a severe complication of bacterial meningitis characterized by adrenal gland failure due to bleeding into the adrenal glands, leading to peripheral circulatory collapse. This can result in shock and is life-threatening if not treated promptly.

Selected Answer: A
Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome is a rare condition in which blood vessels in your adrenal glands rupture. The most common cause of Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome is an infection. Without immediate treatment, Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome is fatal. Treatment includes antibiotics to treat the infection and hormone medications. You may also need surgery to repair your adrenal glands.
