Fig 1.
Seasonal variation in the number of confirmed meningitis cases was examined from 2012 to 2015.
A greater number of confirmed meningitis cases occurred during 2015 than occurred during any other year. The highest number of confirmed meningitis cases occurred during February 2015. The monthly prevalence of confirmed meningitis was, for the most part, lower in 2012, except for during the month of February. It was notable that the seasonal distribution indicated that the number of positive CSF cultures decreased during the rainy season (May—October) in Southwest China.
