Clinical and Bacteriological Analysis of Pediatric Pneumococcal Meningitis after 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Introduction in Japan

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the leading causes of meningitis in children. In Japan, since the introduction of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13), the number of pneumococcal meningitis due to non-PCV13 serotypes in children has ...

The Pathophysiology of Pneumococcal Meningitis

Annals of Medicine, 1994
The interactions between pneumococcal surface components and host defence systems that initiate pneumococcal meningitis have been studied in considerable molecular detail over the past decade. In this sense, the pneumococcus has served as a prototype for the unravelling of the genesis of inflammation caused by gram-positive bacteria.
