Antibody responses to nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae in adults: A longitudinal household study [PDF]

, 2005
Background. Natural immunity to Streptococcus pneumoniae is thought to be induced by exposure to S. pneumoniae or cross-reactive antigens. No longitudinal studies of carriage of and immune responses to S.

A Personalised Vaccination Program Based on Immune Reconstitution in Paediatric Cancer Survivors

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Paediatric cancer survivors often experience treatment‐induced immunosuppression, requiring post‐treatment revaccination. However, immune recovery timelines vary, and current revaccination guidelines, largely based on data of varied quality derived from studies on acute‐lymphoblastic‐leukaemia (ALL), may not be applicable across all ...

HIV‐1 viral load and reservoir size remain stable following SARS‐CoV‐2 mRNA vaccination in people with HIV

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The potent immunogenicity of mRNA vaccination raised concerns about its impact on HIV‐1 viral load (VL) and reservoir size in people with HIV, which could drive vaccine hesitancy. As part of a prospective clinical trial, we investigated whether SARS‐CoV‐2 mRNA vaccination induced changes in VL and reservoir size after a 1‐year three‐

Impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccination: a retrospective study of hospitalization for pneumonia in North-East Italy [PDF]

, 2016
Introduction. Pneumonia remains a common reason for hospitalizing infants and the elderly worldwide, and streptococcal infection is often responsible. The aim of this study was to assess the burden of pneumonia in a large general population. Methods. All

Pneumococcal vaccine for asthma

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2002
Infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important cause of pneumonia and other serious illnesses, particularly amongst those with certain high-risk medical conditions such as asthma. Although pneumococcal vaccine is routinely advocated for people with asthma, there is uncertainty about the evidence base that underpins this recommendation.To ...

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?

Immunology, EarlyView.
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as

Overlapping functionality of the Pht proteins in zinc homeostasis of streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

, 2014
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a globally significant pathogen that causes a range of diseases, including pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, and otitis media. Its ability to cause disease depends upon the acquisition of nutrients from its environment, including

The role of Pneumococcal vaccine [PDF]

Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2008
Streptococcus pneumoniae pathologies represent a health problem of primary importance worldwide in terms of morbidity, mortality, and costs. S. pneumoniae is the main aetiological agent of bacterial pneumonia, and is frequently involved in bacterial meningitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations and upper airway pathologies.
