The characteristics of confirmed Meningococcal Meningitis cases are as follows: The sex ratio was 0.43 (1.0:2.3), with 4 male cases (30.8%) and 9 female cases (69.2%).

Cases occurred year-round, most of them occurred during June to September (n = 9, 69.2%) and November to January (n = 4, 30.8%). The geographical distribution of Meningococcal Meningitis cases were highest in Tauyuan County and Taichung City (n = 2, 15.4%), and Taipei County, Hsinchu City, Hsinchu County, Chanhwa County, Yunlin County, Chiayi County, Tainan County, Kaoshiung County and Hwalien County (n =1, 0.8%, respectively).
