Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccination in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Global Pediatric Health, 2019
According to current recommendations, in addition to 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) series, all children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) aged ≥2 years, with planned or current immunosuppression, should receive pneumococcal ...

Bedside Transcranial Doppler as a Dynamic Warning Tool for Rapidly Evolving Intracranial Hypertension in Pneumococcal Meningitis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In severe bacterial meningitis, an initially non‐critical or technically unreliable lumbar puncture opening pressure should not reassure when hydrocephalus and coma persist. Bedside transcranial Doppler cannot measure intracranial pressure, but bilateral near‐absent diastolic flow may provide an urgent warning signal prompting repeat ...

Characterization of the Immune Response after Oral Cholera Vaccination (OCV) and Effects of Mycophenolate Mofetil on Priming of this Immune Response—A Randomized, Placebo‐Controlled Trial

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 4, Page 1049-1056, October 2026.
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is an immunosuppressive drug widely used by solid organ transplant recipients. Although it is known that MMF suppresses immune responses, its exact effects on specific vaccinations have not been investigated yet. Mucosal vaccinations are increasingly used, such as a cholera vaccination consisting of two oral immunizations ...

Serotype 3 pneumococcal pleural empyema: a case report and review of the epidemiology

European Clinical Respiratory Journal
Serotype 3 pneumococcal infection can cause severe invasive disease, even in immunocompetent adults, and is potentially preventable by vaccination. Invasive pneumococcal disease caused by serotype 3 is currently the most frequent serotype found in adults

Genetic Variation in NFKBIE Is Associated With Increased Risk of Pneumococcal Meningitis in Children

EBioMedicine, 2016
Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis are frequent pathogens in life-threatening infections. Genetic variation in the immune system may predispose to these infections.

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

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 ...

Evolution of antimicrobial resistance and serotype distribution of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from children with invasive and noninvasive pneumococcal diseases in Algeria from 2005 to 2012

New Microbes and New Infections, 2015
Pneumococcal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. The introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) has dramatically reduced the incidence of pneumococcal diseases. PCVs are not currently being used in

Risk for Invasive Streptococcal Infections among Adults Experiencing Homelessness, Anchorage, Alaska, USA, 2002–2015

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
The risk for invasive streptococcal infection has not been clearly quantified among persons experiencing homelessness (PEH). We compared the incidence of detected cases of invasive group A Streptococcus infection, group B Streptococcus infection, and ...

Herd effects of child vaccination with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine against pneumococcal non-invasive community-acquired pneumonia: What is the evidence?

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2017
Quantification of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) herd effects are mainly performed on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) but there is conflicting evidence regarding herd effects of PCVs on non-IPD pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia.
