Abstract |
The objective of this study was to determine the number of cases of pediatric meningitis or purpura fulminans associated with an incorrect vaccination status from 2011 to 2013 in France. A total of 48 children with vaccine-preventable meningitis or purpura fulminans, including three deaths, had an incorrect vaccination status: 26 cases were due to Neisseria meningitidis group C (54.2%), 19 to Streptococcus pneumoniae (39.6%), and three to Haemophilus influenzae type b (6.3%). The majority of patients (n=35, 72.9%) had received no injection of the vaccine concerned. Over a 3-year period, 48 cases of bacterial meningitis or purpura fulminans in children could have been avoided if the French immunization schedule had been followed.
