Meningococcal serotype W septic arthritis: Case series in children

The epidemiology of invasive meningococcal disease has changed over the last decade and there has been an increase in cases caused by serogroup W135, particularly in Indigenous children.

Public and clinician awareness are essential in facilitating effective new vaccine schedule implementation.
