With a retrospective study of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) surveillance data representative for ∼25% of the Dutch population (1275 hospitalized cases) over the period June 2004–June 2006 prior to the implementation of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7), the aim was to provide baseline data on IPD for the interpretation of changes after implementation of conjugate vaccines. The...
This study monitors the epidemiology of invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD) in hospitalized children up to 60 months of age before (February 2001–October 2004) and after (November 2004–January 2007) the introduction of a national risk group immunization program with “Prevenar ® ” in Austria.The IPD incidence rates, per 100,000, for IPD were 7.6 before and 6.4 after the risk group immunization...
General vaccination with the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine was recommended in Germany in July 2006 for all children <2 years. The proportion of reported invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) caused by vaccine serotypes before vaccine introduction was considerably lower than in the US.We report data from nationwide surveillance of IPD in children with two reporting sources, pediatric hospitals...
Acute otitis media (AOM), one of the most common childhood diseases, is associated with a substantial medical, social and economic burden. Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) and Streptococcus pneumoniae are the two main causes of bacterial OM. The 7-valent pneumococcal CRM 197 -conjugate vaccine (7vCRM, Prevnar™/Prevenar™, Wyeth) demonstrated efficacy against AOM caused by vaccine...
