Pediatric meningitis due to <i>Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> and Group B Streptococcus in Tijuana, Mexico: active/prospective surveillance, 2005–2018

Abstract

BM by <i>N. meningitidis</i> is endemic in Tijuana, Mexico, and meningococcal vaccination should be seriously considered in the region. PCV13 is currently showing high effectiveness on pneumococcal BM, and we need to continue active surveillance to see whether maternal screening/prophylaxis for GBS should also be introduced in the region.
