Invasive pneumococcal disease among adults in Japan, April 2013 to March 2015: disease characteristics and serotype distribution
BACKGROUND In Japan, the clinical characteristics and recent serotype distribution among adult patients of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) have not been fully investigated since the introduction of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) in children. From November 2010, PCV7 was encouraged by an official program, funded by government, subsequently included in the routine schedule in April ...
متن کاملVaccination, underlying comorbidities, and risk of invasive pneumococcal disease.
OBJECTIVES Children with underlying conditions remain at increased risk for invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD). This study describes the epidemiology, serotype distribution, clinical presentations, and outcomes of IPD in children with and without comorbidity. METHODS Cases of childhood IPD in Massachusetts were identified via enhanced surveillance from 2002 through 2014. Demographic and cli...
متن کاملInvasive Pneumococcal Infections
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of disease, ranging from uncomplicated respiratory infections to severe invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), including bacteraemic pneumonia, septicaemia with unknown focus and meningitis. Case fatality rate (CFR) remains high and antibiotic resistance is increasing globally. Str. pneumoniae is surrounded by a polysaccharide capsule that can be divided ...
متن کاملPneumococcal vaccination in children with underlying conditions
Several epidemiological studies have evidenced that children with underlying chronic conditions are at increased risk of pneumococcal infections with higher case-fatality rates than healthy subjects. Because pharyngeal pneumococcal carriage is a prerequisite for pneumococcal infection development, the high colonization rates found in these subjects is the most important reason for this phenomen...
متن کاملGlobal Coverage of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) and Serotype Distribution after Receiving Vaccine among Targeted PCV Vaccine Countries: A Systematic Review
Background and Objectives: After the introduction of the pneumococcal vaccine, an increase has been observed in the disease due to nonspecific stereotypes of the vaccine. This study was conducted to determine the spatial distribution of pneumococcal vaccine coverage and common stereotypes of streptococcus pneumonia after vaccine introduction in the vaccine recipient countries. Methods: The ...
