Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Descriptive analysis of meningitis outbreak in Jaman North districts of Brong Ahafo Region.
UNASSIGNED: Descriptive secondary data analysis.
UNASSIGNED: records of meningitis cases were extracted from case-based forms and line list.
UNASSIGNED: The source and pattern of outbreak.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 367 suspected cases with 44 confirmed were recorded from Jaman North during the period of January to March 2016. The mean age of those affected was 58 ± 13 years. The case fatality rate was 0.82% and the proportion of males to females was 1:1.3 (160/207). The age group most affected was 15-29 years (54.7%) and the least was 45-49 years (3.0%). Streptococcus pneumoniae formed 77.3% of confirmed cases whilst Neisseria meningitides was 20.5%. Cases with Neisseria meningitides came from a border town in La Cote d\'Ivoire.
UNASSIGNED: A protracted propagated meningitis outbreak occurred; and the predominant bacteria strain among confirmed cases was Streptococcus pneumoniae. Cases were mainly females and the most vulnerable group were people aged 15-29 years.

摘要：
■布隆阿哈福地区贾曼北部地区脑膜炎爆发的描述性分析。
■描述性二次数据分析。
■从基于病例的表格和行列表中提取脑膜炎病例的记录。
■爆发的来源和模式。
2016年1月至3月期间，共有367例疑似病例，其中44例确诊。受影响者的平均年龄为58±13岁。病死率为0.82%，男女比例为1:1.3(160/207)。受影响最大的年龄组为15-29岁（54.7％），最少为45-49岁（3.0％）。肺炎链球菌占确诊病例的77.3％，而脑膜炎奈瑟菌占20.5％。脑膜炎奈瑟菌病例来自科特迪瓦的一个边境城镇。
■发生了延续性传播性脑膜炎爆发；确诊病例中的优势菌株是肺炎链球菌。病例主要是女性，最脆弱的群体是15-29岁的人。
