摘要
导言：侵袭性脑膜炎球菌病在婴幼儿中发病率最高：病例报告：相隔两天确诊患脑膜炎球菌血清 B 群脑膜炎的双胞胎婴儿：结论：从未有过双胞胎兄弟同时患脑膜炎球菌脑膜炎的报道。我们希望强调脑膜炎球菌通过家庭接触传播的高可能性，以及对这些病例的密切接触者进行抗生素预防和脑膜炎球菌疫苗接种的重要性。
Twins with meningitis due to Neisseria meningitidis.
Introduction: The incidence of invasive meningococcal disease is highest in infants and young children.
Case report: Twin infants diagnosed two days apart with meningitis due to N. meningitidis serogroup B are presented.
Conclusions: There has never been a report of concurrent meningococcal meningitis in twin brothers. We wanted to highlight the high likelihood of meningococcal transmission through household contacts and the importance of antibiotic prophylaxis and meningococcal vaccination recommendations for close contacts of these cases.
