Pathogenesis of pneumococcal infection [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2000 The pathogenesis of pneumococcal infection is a complex interplay between pneumococcal virulence determinants and the host immune response. Molecular studies have considerably advanced our knowledge and understanding of the precise structures and functions of the different determinants and their pathogenic roles. This review describes the mechanisms by

THE CHEMOSEROTHERAPY OF EXPERIMENTAL PNEUMOCOCCAL INFECTION [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1915 1. A single small dose of ethylhydrocuprein (optochin base), which by itself has practically no protective effect against experimental pneumococcal infection in mice, is capable of increasing the threshold value of the type homologous antipneumococcus serum at least fifty times. 2. This effect is proportionately many times greater than a

Adult pneumococcal vaccination – new opportunities
Family Medicine & Primary Care Review, 2023 Pneumococcal infections (Streptococcus pneumoniae) remain a significant epidemiological problem globally. Although an invasive pneumo-coccal disease (IPD), which includes meningitis, sepsis and pneumonia with bacteremia, is the most severe form of ...

Promising Expectations for Pneumococcal Vaccination during COVID-19
Vaccines, 2021 The emergence of new viral infections has increased over the decades. The novel virus is one such pathogen liable for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, popularly known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Fulminant pneumococcal infection [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2014 SummaryFulminant pneumococcal infection is a fatal pneumococcal infection that tends to occur in immunocompromised hosts, such as patients who are asplenic or on immunosuppressant therapy. We experienced a case of a 73-year-old Japanese man with a medical history of coronary stent implantation and catheter ablation for atrial flutter who presented with
