ABSTRACT
To compensate for the lack of laboratories in remote areas; the national reference laboratory for meningitis in Niger used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to enhance the surveillance of meningitis caused by Neisseria meningitidis; Streptococcus pneumoniae; and Haemophilus influenzae. PCR effectively documented the wide geographic spread of N. meningitidis serogroup W135
