The Burden of Streptococcus Pneumoniae‐Related Admissions in Pediatric Population: A Retrospective Cohort Study Between Years 2018–2023 From a Southern Italian Region

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pneumococcus are often found in the respiratory tract of healthy people, especially children, and are a common cause of infections such as otitis media, sinusitis, conjunctivitis and community‐acquired pneumonia. In other cases, the bacteria can cause more serious conditions known collectively as invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD),

Immune Dysregulation in Branched Chain Organic Acidemias

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Organic acidemias (OAs) are a group of inherited disorders, most commonly caused by defects in mitochondrial enzymes involved in amino acid and fatty acid metabolism. While they characteristically present with metabolic and neurological crises, growing evidence reveals a significant burden of chronic immune dysregulation in some disorders and ...

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

Pediatric cases caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotype 3

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2019
Streptococcus pneumoniae causes invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), leading to high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although nonvaccine serotypes constitute a major issue in the aspect of invasive pneumococcal disease, serotypes included in PCV13 ...
