DOI: 10.1016/j.eimc.2017.05.003
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) typically presents as bacterial pneumonia, meningitis or primary bacteraemia. However, Streptococcus pneumoniae can produce infection at any level of the body (endocarditis, arthritis, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, etc.), which is also… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jnma.2019.04.011
Abstract: BACKGROUND Racial disparities in U.S. adult pneumococcal vaccination rates persist despite reduced barriers to access. Consequently, racial and ethnic minorities experience pneumococcal disease at higher rates than whites. This study examined prevalence of high-risk conditions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pedneo.2020.02.005
Abstract: BACKGROUND The most severe form of pneumococcal disease is invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), including empyema, sepsis and meningitis. Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (TA; Galβ1-3GalNAc) activation is known to be a predictor of Streptococcus pneumoniae-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2017.07.019
Abstract: Highlights • We predict a substantial decline in the carriage prevalence of vaccine serotypes.• About a 56% reduction in invasive pneumococcal disease is also predicted.• The decline is predicted to be sustainable ten years post-vaccination.•… read more here.
