Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2001Pneumococcal infections account for a significant proportion of bacterial infections in infants and children. The growing threat from pneumococci resistant to penicillin and other antimicrobials has led to increased pressure for the development of an effective vaccine.

Conjugated Heptavalent Pneumococcal Vaccine
The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 2002OBJECTIVE: To review the immunogenicity, efficacy, and safety of the heptavalent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (PCV7). DATA SOURCES: A MEDLINE search (1993–August 2001) of research limited to humans published in the English language ...

The pneumococcal protein conjugate vaccines
The Journal of Pediatrics, 2000to develop the first licensed pneumococcal vaccine, consisting of 14 purified capsular polysaccharide antigens representing the most prevalent disease-associated serotypes. Coverage was improved by the addition of 9 more purified polysaccharide antigens, resulting in the currently licensed 23valent pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide vaccine.

Immunogenicity of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines
The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2000Prevention of pneumococcal infections is a public health priority because of the high impact of the disease and because of the increasing problems due to antimicrobial resistance. Traditional vaccines, consisting of purified capsular polysaccharides (PSs) of Streptococcus pneumoniae, are not immunogenic in young children.

Conjugate pneumococcal vaccines: an overview
Medical Journal of Australia, 2000A seven-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine has been shown to have dramatic efficacy against invasive pneumococcal disease and lesser efficacy against otitis media and pneumonia. This vaccine was licensed for use in infants in the United States in February 2000 and is recommended there for routine use in infants and catch-up vaccination in high-risk ...

Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines
1995The development of multivalent pneumococcal vaccines for the prevention of both systemic and noninvasive pneumococcal diseases in infants, older adults, and immunecompromised individuals has gained increasing importance over the last decade. The rising cost of medical care has renewed interest in prevention instead of cure for a disease and in many ...

The potential of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines for children
The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2002In contrast to earlier pneumococcal vaccines, conjugate vaccines hold promise for reducing pneumococcal morbidity and mortality in infants and young children. The first commercially available conjugate vaccine formulation, which targets seven serotypes, was licensed in the US and other countries in 2000; this vaccine is now part of routine infant ...

Pneumococcal meningitis in the era of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine implementation
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2007The French Pediatric Infectious Diseases Group set up an active surveillance network to analyze the clinical and biological features of pneumococcal meningitis and the impact of the seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7). From 2001 to 2005, 234 pediatric wards working with 166 microbiology laboratories enrolled all children with ...

The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
Minerva pediatrica, 2003Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most frequent cause of otitis media, sinusitis, and pneumonia in children. It is also one of the most common causes of invasive bacterial infections in children including bacteremia and meningitis. One of the current issues regarding S. pneumoniae is the emergence of pneumococcal strains resistant to penicillin and other
