Prevalence of pneumococcal carriage and risk factors for pneumonia and carriage among under-5 children in Malaysia: findings from the MY-Pneumo study

Pneumonia
Background Paediatric pneumonia remains a significant public health concern globally, and the risk factors for pneumonia and carriage vary across different populations. The accuracy of pneumococcal urinary antigen test (PUAT) remains unclear. We aimed to

Regionally Compartmentalized Resident Memory T Cells Mediate Naturally Acquired Protection Against Pneumococcal Pneumonia

Mucosal Immunology, 2017
As children age, they become less susceptible to the diverse microbes causing pneumonia. These microbes are pathobionts that infect the respiratory tract multiple times during childhood, generating immunological memory.
