Abstract

In January-February 2025, a community outbreak of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B was reported in Aragón, Spain, with nine confirmed cases. This represents a 27-fold increase vs the previous 3 years. Five cases had respiratory co-infections; seven were attributed to complex CC213. Epidemiological investigations revealed a potential link to a school setting, though direct transmission could not be confirmed. These findings highlight the need to reinforce surveillance during periods of high respiratory virus circulation and in outbreaks involving non-4CMenB-covered variants.

2025年1月至2月，西班牙Aragón报告了一次乙型脑膜炎奈瑟菌社区暴发，有9例确诊病例。这比前三年增长了27倍。呼吸道合并感染5例；7例归因于复合物CC213。流行病学调查显示可能与学校环境有关，但不能证实直接传播。这些发现突出表明，需要在呼吸道病毒高循环期间和涉及非四甲基甲氨基乙胺覆盖变异的暴发期间加强监测。
