Changes in the incidence, viral coinfection pattern and outcomes of pneumococcal hospitalizations during and after the COVID-19 pandemic

Pneumonia
Background The incidence of pneumococcal pneumonia in the context of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, along with the real-world data on the ratio of non-invasive to invasive pneumococcal pneumonia, is an area that has not been thoroughly

Long‐Term Outcomes After Elective Splenectomy for Haematological Disease: A 27‐Year Single‐Centre Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Splenectomy is a safe and effective treatment option in selected patients with haematological disease, despite declining referrals over the last 27 years in the era of targeted therapies. Outcomes are favourable when performed laparoscopically and long‐term follow‐up demonstrates sustained haematologic benefit in surviving patients.

Decrease in Pneumococcal Co-Colonization following Vaccination with the Seven-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine [PDF]

, 2012
Understanding the epidemiology of pneumococcal co-colonization is important for monitoring vaccine effectiveness and the occurrence of horizontal gene transfer between pneumococcal strains.

Preventing Invasive Pneumococcal Disease in Children [PDF]

The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, 2003
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major bacterial cause of sepsis, meningitis, and otitis media in infants and young children. In 1999, the Active Bacterial Core Surveillance Network reported a rate of invasive pneumococcal disease of 165.7 per 100,000 in children younger than 1 year old and a rate ...

Multiple Colonization with S. pneumoniae before and after Introduction of the Seven-Valent Conjugated Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Simultaneous carriage of more than one strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae promotes horizontal gene transfer events and may lead to capsule switch and acquisition of antibiotic resistance. We studied the epidemiology of cocolonization with S.

Antimicrobial Resistance in Children With Bloodstream Infections: A Population‐Based Study in Stockholm, Sweden

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim We retrospectively evaluated trends in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in paediatric bloodstream infections and assessed changes in antimicrobial prescription patterns over a 20‐year period. Methods We analysed positive blood cultures from children admitted with suspected serious infection between 1998 and 2018.

Would patients over 65 years of age accept vaccination while hospitalised? An assessment of eligibility and acceptability

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Vaccination is effective at preventing severe illness related to influenza, pneumococcal disease and coronavirus disease 2019 COVID‐19. Vaccine coverage among older Australians is incomplete, and hospitals currently administer very few vaccine doses.

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?

Immunology, EarlyView.
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as
