Use of Procalcitonin and C-Reactive Protein to Evaluate Vaccine Efficacy against Pneumonia [PDF]

PLoS Medicine, 2005
BACKGROUND: Pneumonia remains the leading cause of death in young children. The poor specificity of chest radiographs (CXRs) to diagnose pneumococcal pneumonia may underestimate the efficacy of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in preventing pneumococcal ...

Pneumococcal Disease in the Era of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine [PDF]

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2015
Universal immunization of infants and toddlers with pneumococcal conjugate vaccines over the last 15 years has dramatically altered the landscape of pneumococcal disease. Decreases in invasive pneumococcal disease, all-cause pneumonia, empyema, mastoiditis, acute otitis media, and complicated otitis media have been reported from multiple countries in ...

Effect of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine on Pneumococcal Meningitis [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2009
Invasive pneumococcal disease declined among children and adults after the introduction of the pediatric heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) in 2000, but its effect on pneumococcal meningitis is unclear.We examined trends in pneumococcal meningitis from 1998 through 2005 using active, population-based surveillance data from eight sites in

Nasopharyngeal S. pneumoniae carriage and density in Belgian infants after 9 years of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine programme [PDF]

, 2018
Background: In Belgium, the infant pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) programme changed from PCV7 (2007-2011) to PCV13 (2011-2015) and to PCV10 (2015-2016). A 3-year nasopharyngeal carriage study was initiated during the programme switch in 2016.
