Effect of COVID-19 Pandemic on Invasive Pneumococcal Disease in Children, Catalonia, Spain
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 We analyzed the effect of COVID-19 on healthcare demand and invasive pneumococcal disease in children in Catalonia, Spain. Compared with 2018–2019, we noted large reductions in healthcare activities and incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease in 2020.

Rare but not forgotten: A case of meningitis due to ceftriaxone-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae
IDCases, 2018 Despite the dramatic decrease in invasive pneumococcal disease since the widespread use of the first pneumococcal vaccine, invasive and resistant disease still occurs.

Cardiotoxicity during Invasive Pneumococcal Disease [PDF]
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2015 Abstract Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia and sepsis, with adult hospitalization linked to approximately 19% incidence of an adverse cardiac event (e.g., heart failure, arrhythmia, infarction).

Population-based estimates of the effectiveness of pneumococcal vaccination in Australia
International Journal of Population Data Science, 2017 Objectives Australia’s Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) is one of only a handful of national immunisation registers world-wide. We have, for the first time, linked the ACIR to other health datasets to measure the real-world impact of Australia’s ...

Seasonal Patterns of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 Pneumococcal infections increase each winter, a phenomenon that has not been well explained. We conducted population-based active surveillance for all cases of invasive pneumococcal disease in seven states; plotted annualized weekly rates by geographic location, age, and latitude; and assessed correlations by time-series analysis.

Invasive pneumococcal disease in Australia, 2005
Communicable Diseases Intelligence, 2007 Enhanced surveillance for invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) was carried out in all Australian states and territories in 2005 with comparative data available since 2001. There were 1,680 cases of IPD notified to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System in Australia in 2005; a notification rate of 8.3 cases per 100,000 population. The rates

Genetic susceptibility to invasive pneumococcal disease
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2018 The pathogenesis of IPD remains unknown, especially among middle-aged individuals without risk factors (WRF).The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) within key genes involved in innate immune response on IPD susceptibility.Forty-three SNPs within 10 immunological genes were investigated in a ...
