Anticipating impact of implementing PCV20 or PCV21 vaccines for older adults in the immunisation programme for invasive pneumococcal disease, using nationwide surveillance data, Israel, 2009 to 2024 [PDF]
EurosurveillanceBACKGROUND Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) have reduced vaccine-type (VT) invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in older adults through direct and indirect effects. However, non-vaccine-type serotypes have emerged.

Immunodeficiency in Children With Invasive Pneumococcal Disease. [PDF]
CureusInvasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) continues to be a significant contributor to childhood morbidity and mortality. Such occurrences persist despite global vaccination initiatives. Previously unrecognized immunodeficiencies are highlighted due to the presence of IPD in otherwise healthy children.

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

Invasive pneumococcal disease [PDF]
Archives of disease in childhood - Education & practice edition, 2011 Streptococcus pneumoniae , the pneumococcus, is a Gram-positive diplococcus with more than 90 serotypes determined by the polysaccharide composition of its capsule. It is carried asymptomatically in approximately 50% of people.1 It can cause both non-invasive and invasive disease.

Invasive pneumococcal disease in Greenland [PDF]
International Journal of Circumpolar Health, 2004 The Inuit of Alaska and Canada have a higher incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease than non-inuit. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate incidence and outcome of these infections in Greenland with special reference to pneumococcal serotypes.Retrospective study of invasive pneumococcal infections in Greenland in the period 1996-2002 ...

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.
