AB  - During March 4-August 11, 2016, 25 outbreak-associated cases of meningococcal 
      disease, including two deaths (8% case-fatality ratio), were reported in Southern 
      California. Twenty-four of the cases were caused by serogroup C Neisseria 
      meningitidis (NmC) and one by N. meningitidis with an undetermined serogroup 
      (Figure). On June 24, 2016, in response to this increase in NmC cases, primarily 
      among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Los Angeles County, the city of Long 
      Beach, and Orange County, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) 
      issued a press release and health advisory, declaring an outbreak of NmC in 
      Southern California (1).
