Pneumococcal serotypes and their association with death risk in invasive pneumococcal disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundStreptococcus pneumoniae and its infections are a global public health concern. Invasive pneumococcal disease accounts for significant mortality in the aged and immunocompromised. Over 100 unique capsular serotypes have been identified, with 80–

Serotype distribution of invasive and non-invasive pneumococcal disease in adults ≥65 years of age following the introduction of 10- and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in infant national immunization programs: a systematic literature review [PDF]

Frontiers in Public Health
IntroductionDespite the widespread implementation of 10- and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) in infant national immunization programs and anticipated herd effects, pneumococcal disease incidence remains relatively high among older adults.

Invasive pneumococcal disease caused by non-vaccine Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 24B in an immunocompetent child [PDF]

Radiology Case Reports
Invasive pneumococcal disease typically occurs in immunocompromised patients, although some vaccine strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae have been reported to cause invasive pneumococcal disease in immunocompetent vaccine recipients.

A Retrospective Analysis to Estimate the Burden of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease and Non-Invasive Pneumonia in Children <15 Years of Age in the Veneto Region, Italy

Children, 2022
Despite advances in preventative interventions, invasive pneumococcal disease and pneumonia cause significant morbidity and mortality in children. We studied the annual incidence of pneumococcal-specific and syndromic invasive disease and non-invasive ...

INVASIVE PNEUMOCOCCAL DISEASES IN CHILDREN AGED 1-59 MONTHS IN SICILY, ITALY: IMPORTANCE OF ACTIVE FAMILY PAEDIATRICIAN SURVEILLANCE AND VACCINATION COVERAGE. [PDF]

Euromediterranean Biomedical Journal, 2014
Purpose: Aim of this study was to analyze pediatric invasive pneumococcal disease rates several years after the implementation of infant pneumococcal vaccination. Methods: The study was carried out in Sicily and involved about 30,000 children, aged 1-

Population-based analysis of invasive nontypeable pneumococci reveals that most have defective capsule synthesis genes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Since nasopharyngeal carriage of pneumococcus precedes invasive pneumococcal disease, characteristics of carriage isolates could be incorrectly assumed to reflect those of invasive isolates.

Intrafamilial Transmission of Pneumococcal Acute Spontaneous Peritonitis

Infectious Disease Reports, 2023
Streptococcus pneumonia (S. pneumoniae, Pneumococcus) is a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. The most common presentations of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in children include bacteremic pneumonia, meningitis, and ...
