Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To identify and characterize the pathogens responsible for the outbreak of invasive meningococcal disease in Chad during 2024-2025. METHODS: Surveillance included demographic data and cerebrospinal fluid samples from meningitis patients. Samples were tested using RT-PCR to detect Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, or Haemophilus influenzae. Samples positive for N. meningitidis were...
