Abstrakt:	A new report discusses research findings on meningitis, specifically focusing on the outbreak of cerebrospinal meningitis (CSM) in Nigeria. The report highlights the need for preventive vaccination strategies to combat future epidemics, as Nigeria has historically recorded the highest number of cases in the African meningitis belt. The study identifies the bacterial aetiologies responsible for CSM and emphasizes the success of the preventive vaccination strategy in reducing morbidity and mortality. The researchers recommend that the Federal Ministry of Health in Nigeria leverage this knowledge and implement the preventive vaccination strategy to mitigate the impact of future outbreaks.
