We reviewed confirmed cases of pediatric invasive meningococcal disease in Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego County, California, USA, during 2005-2008. The overall incidence and fatality rate observed in Tijuana were similar to those found in the US, and serogroup distribution suggests that most cases in Tijuana are vaccine preventable.
我们回顾了 2005-2008 年期间在墨西哥提华纳和美国加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥县发生的小儿侵袭性脑膜炎球菌病确诊病例。提华纳观察到的总发病率和病死率与美国的相似,血清群分布表明提华纳的大多数病例是可以通过疫苗预防的。
