Immunodeficiency in Children With Invasive Pneumococcal Disease. [PDF]
Invasive 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.

Mathematical modelling long-term effects of replacing Prevnar7 with Prevnar13 on invasive pneumococcal diseases in England and Wales [PDF]
England and Wales recently replaced the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) with its 13-valent equivalent (PCV13), partly based on projections from mathematical models of the long-term impact of such a switch compared to ceasing pneumococcal ...

Invasive pneumococcal disease [PDF]
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]
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 ...

Increased pathogenicity of pneumococcal serotype 1 is driven by rapid autolysis and release of pneumolysin [PDF]
Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 1 is the predominant cause of invasive pneumococcal disease in sub-Saharan Africa, but the mechanism behind its increased invasiveness is not well understood.

Changes in the Features of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease after Introduction of the Seven-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in a Regional Core Hospital of Kochi, Japan [PDF]
Since the introduction of the seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) in 2007, invasive pneumococcal disease has declined, but the incidence of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 19A has risen worldwide.
