Abstract
- N meningiditis remains an important cause of central nervous system infection. A high index of suspicion is required especially in infants. While empirical antibiotics may be initiated, diagnostic measures must be adopted for guided therapy. Notification of such cases contributes to surveillance data and deciding on providing vaccines to the population.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest.<br /> (© 2024 The Author(s).
