OBJECTIVE
To delineate whether serotype 19A invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) comprised significantly more necrotizing pneumonia and empyema in children, we compared the clinical characteristics between serotype 19A and non-19A IPD.
METHODS
Between January 2007 and December 2011, cases of children
OBJECTIVE
To describe symptoms, disease manifestations and outcome of invasive pneumococcal disease in children prior to implementation of the pneumococcal vaccine.
METHODS
Analysis of children younger than 16 years of age with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD; n = 119). Children with
Streptococcus pyogenes is the most common cause of post-infectious glomerulonephritis. Described herein is the case of a 5-year-old girl with febrile post-streptococcal acute glomerulonephritis (PSAGN) associated with pneumococcal bacteremia. The chief complaints were fever and macrohematuria
OBJECTIVE
To describe frequency and type of invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD) and consolidated pneumonia (CP) in Chilean infants.
METHODS
One-year prospective surveillance in three health care centers. PID surveillance: blood culture in infants with suspected invasive bacterial disease or with
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether the use of antipyretic medications in the treatment of Streptococcus pneumoniae infection affects mortality in humans or animal models.
METHODS
A systematic search of Medline, Embase, and The Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials was undertaken to identify in vivo
OBJECTIVE
Streptococcus pneumoniae remains the most common cause of occult bacteremia, bacterial pneumonia, and meningitis in young febrile children. We sought to determine the utility of a pneumococcal urine antigen assay among young febrile children at varying risk of invasive pneumococcal
BACKGROUND
Respiratory viruses contribute to the seasonal pattern of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), but the impact of viral coinfections on the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with IPD have not been well defined.
OBJECTIVE
This study was designed to describe and compare the
Vertebral osteomyelitis secondary to pneumococcal infection is an uncommon condition caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. Fever, back pain, and raised ESR are common features in the clinical setting. We report a 62-year-old female patient who presented with an unusual presentation. Later on,
OBJECTIVE
This review discusses recent literature that has focused on the epidemiology, clinical and laboratory evaluation and treatment of episodes of acute illnesses associated with fever and also of prolonged episodes of fever in children.
RESULTS
Articles addressed the epidemiology of invasive
The relationship between the fever of acute infection and that following injection of bacterial pyrogen was studied by administering pyrogens to animals convalescent from acute infections. Rabbits surviving dermal pneumococcal infections or peritonitis due to Escherichia coli were given intravenous
Splenectomized children as well as those suffering from nephrotic syndrome or recurrent asthmatic bronchitis have an increased susceptibility to systemic pneumococcal infections compared to healthy children. To determine the immunogenicity and safety of a 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide
In three children with fever, two girls aged 8 and almost 10 months and one boy aged 5 months, invasive pneumococcal disease was present. The youngest girl presented with pneumococcal sepsis which was complicated by haemolytic uraemic syndrome--she recovered--and the boy developed fulminant fatal
Pneumococcal infections are the most common invasive bacterial infections in children in the United States. The incidence of invasive pneumococcal infections peaks in children younger than 2 years, reaching rates of 228/100,000 in children 6 to 12 months old. Children with functional or anatomic
