Clonal expansion within pneumococcal serotype 6C after use of seven-valent vaccine [PDF]
Streptococcus pneumoniae causes invasive infections, primarily at the extremes of life. A seven-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV7) is used to protect against invasive pneumococcal disease in children.

Immunogenicity of pneumococcal vaccines in comorbid autoimmune and chronic respiratory diseases [PDF]
Streptococcus pneumoniae causes pneumonia, meningitis, otitis media, and bacteremia. The mortality and morbidity of invasive pneumococcal disease are high among adults aged >65 years or those with underlying chronic or immunosuppressive conditions.

Pneumococcal whole-cell and protein-based vaccines: changing the paradigm
Introduction: Epidemiologic evaluations of Streptococcus pneumoniae nasopharyngeal (NP) colonization and pneumococcal disease suggest that newer serotypes in future formulations of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) are needed and there may need to ...

Systematic review on serotypes distribution of pneumococcal pneumonia in adults and the elderly [PDF]
Background Pneumococcal pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among adults, especially those over 65 years of age. Understanding pneumococcal serotype-specific epidemiology in adults and elderly is necessary to inform vaccination policies

Streptococcus pneumoniae, commonly termed the pneumococcus, is a major pediatric pathogen both in developed and developing countries. Despite the availability of multiple antimicrobials to which this organism is susceptible, it continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality. Recognition of the limitations of antimicrobial therapy in controlling

Cost‐effectiveness of second‐line therapies in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia
Abstract Major options for second‐line therapy in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) include splenectomy, rituximab, and thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TRAs). The American Society of Hematology guidelines recommend rituximab over splenectomy, TRAs over rituximab, and splenectomy or TRAs while noting a lack of evidence on the cost ...
