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.
