Influenza and other respiratory viruses are commonly identified in patients with community-acquired pneumonia, hospital-acquired pneumonia, and in immunocompromised patients with pneumonia. Clinically, it is difficult to differentiate viral from bacterial pneumonia. Similarly, the radiological findings of viral infection are in general nonspecific. The

Predicting optimal impact interventions in the post‐HPV vaccination world
Abstract Prophylactic vaccination is a powerful tool that changes exposure to infections and associated morbidity of preventable diseases. We discuss the impact of pneumococci and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination on the population biology of the two micro‐organisms and related public health effects.
