Immunodeficiency in Children With Invasive Pneumococcal Disease. [PDF]

Cureus
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.

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]

Eurosurveillance
BACKGROUND 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.

Mathematical modelling long-term effects of replacing Prevnar7 with Prevnar13 on invasive pneumococcal diseases in England and Wales. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
IntroductionEngland 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 ...

Effect of pneumococcal conjugate vaccination on serotype-specific carriage and invasive disease in England: a cross-sectional study [PDF]

, 2011
We investigated the effect of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) programme in England on serotype-specific carriage and invasive disease to help understand its role in serotype replacement and predict the impact of higher valency vaccines.

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

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–

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 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 ...
