Reconsidering the Role of Blood Cultures in Community-Acquired Pneumonia: A Case of Co-Infection With <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> and <i>Klebsiella variicola</i>. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
We report a case of community‐acquired pneumonia. In this case, the blood culture was essential for detection of co‐infection of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Klebsiella variicola, which combination is first reported. ABSTRACT Community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.

Monitoring the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines into West Africa: design and implementation of a population-based surveillance system. [PDF]

, 2012
Routine use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) in developing countries is expected to lead to a significant reduction in childhood deaths. However, PCVs have been associated with replacement disease with non-vaccine serotypes.
