Pneumococcal vaccine and opsonic pneumococcal antibody [PDF]

Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 2013
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major human pathogen responsible for the majority of bacterial pneumonia cases as well as invasive pneumococcal diseases with high mortality and morbidity. Use of conjugate vaccines targeting the pneumococcal capsule has dramatically reduced the incidence of invasive diseases, and there are active efforts to further ...

Occupationally Relevant Zinc‐ and Copper‐Containing Metal Fumes Inhibit Human THP‐1 Macrophage TNF and IL‐6 Responses to Bacterial Stimuli

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
Metal workers have an increased risk of severe pneumonia due to metal fume exposure. In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) particles are found to inhibit specific anti‐bacterial macrophage responses, which may substantially contribute to impaired lung immunity.

Environmental factors which can affect the burden of pneumococcal disease and the immune response to pneumococcal vaccines: the need for more precisely delineated vaccine recommendations

Expert Review of Vaccines, 2019
Introduction: Precision medicine describes the customization of healthcare tailored to the individual patient. Generally, vaccines are considered as public health tools rather than from the individual patient perspective.

The alternative fact of probable vaccine damage A typology of vaccination beliefs in 28 European countries [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Background: Despite lacking scientific support, vaccine hesitancy is widespread. While vaccine damage as a scientific fact is statistically highly uncommon, emerging social and technological forces have converted probable vaccine damage into an alternative fact.

Relationship between immune response to pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in infants and indirect protection after vaccine implementation

Expert Review of Vaccines, 2019
Introduction: Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Widespread infant vaccination with pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) substantially reduced vaccine-serotype pneumococcal disease by direct protection of ...

The Significance of Subperiosteal Abscess Volume in Acute Mastoiditis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Both needle aspiration and I&D are safe methods to reduce the infective and inflammatory load of subperiosteal abscess due to acute mastoiditis and provide pus for culture. Higher volumes (~3 cm3 and more) should be managed initially with cortical mastoidectomy since the risk of no improvement following needle aspiration or I&D is higher.

Next-Generation Whole-Cell Pneumococcal Vaccine

Vaccines, 2019
Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a major public health hazard. Although Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines (PCVs) are available and have significantly reduced the rate of invasive pneumococcal diseases, there is still a need for new vaccines with unlimited ...

Preferences for COVID-19 vaccine: Evidence from India [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
India's mass vaccination efforts have been slow due to high levels of vaccine hesitancy. This study uses data from an online discrete choice experiment with 1371 respondents to rigorously examine the factors shaping vaccine preference in the country. We find that vaccine efficacy, presence of side effects, protection duration, distance to vaccination ...

Serological criteria and carriage measurement for evaluation of new pneumococcal vaccines

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2015
The best method of evaluating the efficacy of a vaccine is to compare the incidence of the disease against which it is prepared in randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials involving vaccinated and unvaccinated subjects. In the case of Streptococcus
