Prevention of pneumococcal diseases in the post-seven valent vaccine era: A European perspective

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2012
Background The burden of invasive pneumococcal disease in young children decreased dramatically following introduction of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7). The epidemiology of S.

The interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with co-circulating pathogens: Epidemiological implications and current knowledge gaps [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Despite the availability of effective vaccines, the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 suggests that co-circulation with other pathogens and resulting multi-epidemics may become increasingly frequent. To better forecast and control the risk of such multi-epidemics, it is essential to elucidate the potential interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with other pathogens; these

In vivo Neutralization of Pro-inflammatory Cytokines During Secondary Streptococcus pneumoniae Infection Post Influenza A Virus Infection [PDF]

, 2019
An overt pro-inflammatory immune response is a key factor contributing to lethal pneumococcal infection in an influenza pre-infected host and represents a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

Decline in Pneumococcal Disease in Young Children during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Israel Associated with Suppression of seasonal Respiratory Viruses, despite Persistent Pneumococcal Carriage: A Prospective Cohort Study

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background The incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) declined during the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous studies hypothesized that this was due to reduced pneumococcal transmission resulting from non-pharmaceutical interventions.

Meningitis, spondylodiscitis, pneumonia and septic shock with Streptococcus pneumoniae in a previously healthy woman with isolated IgG2-, IgG3-, IgA-deficiency and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance

Infectious Disease Reports, 2018
A 66 years old Caucasian woman with pneumococcal meningitis was treated and discharged after an uncomplicated course. Five months later she was readmitted withfever and right side abdominal pain and diagnosed with pneumococcal spondylodiscitis.

Pneumococcal infection in the newborn. [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1993
Two fatal cases of invasive pneumococcal disease in the newborn are reported, both acquired from the maternal vagina. The rarity of vaginal carriage of pneumococcus suggests that this organism has a higher invasion to colonisation ratio than group B streptococcus and maternal carriage or neonatal colonisation should be more aggressively treated.

Serotype Distribution and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Streptococcus pneumoniae in COVID-19 Pandemic Era in Brazil

Microorganisms
Despite the introduction of the pneumococcal vaccine, Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a cause of invasive diseases in Brazil. This study provides the distribution of serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns for pneumococcal isolates before ...

Pneumococcal Vaccination in Immunocompromised Hosts: An Update

Vaccines, 2021
Infections with the pathogen, Streptococcus pneumoniae, are a common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It particularly affects those at the extremes of age and immunocompromised individuals.

The SIR model in a moving population: propagation of infection and herd immunity [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In a collection of particles performing independent random walks on $\mathbb Z^d$ we study the spread of an infection with SIR dynamics. Susceptible particles become infected when they meet an infected particle. Infected particles heal and are removed at rate $\nu$.

Parasite infection in a cell population with deaths and reinfections [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
We introduce a model of parasite infection in a cell population, where cells can be infected, either at birth through maternal transmission, from a contact with the parasites reservoir, or because of the parasites released in the cell medium after the lyses of infected cells.
