Evidence on the risk of febrile seizures after inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) is mixed. In the FDA-sponsored Sentinel Initiative, we examined risk of febrile seizures after IIV and PCV13 in children 6-23 months of age during the Using data from 3 private healthcare claims repositories, we evaluated the incidence of pneumococcal disease among adults with US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) defined at-risk conditions or rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn's disease, and neuromuscular disorder/seizures and
OBJECTIVE
New conjugate vaccine for Streptococcus pneumoniae has been introduced in Malaysia recently. Information on infection due to S. pneumoniae in Malaysian children is scarce. We conducted a retrospective chart review of childhood invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) presented to a single
BACKGROUND
Pneumococcal infection is one of the leading causes of pneumonia, meningitis and septicemia in developing countries. It accounts for one million deaths each year in children.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study is to see the clinical profile of invasive pneumococcal disease, antibiotics
OBJECTIVE
To report a rare case of a child with invasive pneumococcal disease that presented meningitis associated with pericarditis.
METHODS
This report describes the unfavorable clinical course of a previously healthy 6-months-old female infant who initially presented symptoms of fever and
We retrospectively analyzed 33 cases of children with systemic pneumococcal infections, 22 bacteremia and 11 meningitis, diagnosed and treated in Asahi General Hospital between 1985 and 1999. The median age at diagnosis was 15 months old and the incidence peaked in infants between 7 and 24 months of
To identify risk factors for developing pneumococcal infections, we carried out a case-controlled study on a retrospectively constituted cohort of 3074 clinic patients in a presumed high-risk population. Culture-proved pneumococcal infections were identified in 63 men over a period of 5.5 years,
BACKGROUND
Although it is widely accepted that adults with immunocompromising conditions are at greatly increased risk of pneumococcal infection, the extent of risk among immunocompetent adults with chronic medical conditions is less certain, particularly in the current era of universal vaccination
In fall 2010 in the southern hemisphere, an increased risk of febrile seizures was noted in young children in Australia in the 24 h after receipt of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) manufactured by CSL Biotherapies. Although the CSL TIV vaccine was not recommended for use in young
We retrospectively investigated prognostic factors of 27 consecutive patients with bacterial meningitis seen at Niigata University Medical and Dental Hospital between 1980 and 2006. Patients were divided into the two categories using the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) at discharge; the poor outcome
Safety and reactogenicity data were reviewed following 10 years of experience with the 10-valent pneumococcal non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV) in clinical development and from post-licensure settings. Analyses of pooled clinical trial data and post-marketing
BACKGROUND
Following the introduction of a heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) in the Netherlands in 2006, the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) declined significantly. Since then a shift towards non-vaccine serotype IPD has been noted.
METHODS
We present the case of
OBJECTIVE
To identify risk factors for adverse outcomes from bacterial meningitis.
METHODS
From a cohort of 166 children with bacterial meningitis who were studied prospectively, 130/158 (82%) survivors underwent neurological, neuropsychological, audiological and behaviour assessments 5-9 years
OBJECTIVE
Previous study did not reveal any particular heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) related risk. However, french drugs agency (Afssaps) requested the continuation of its surveillance.
METHODS
All serious PCV7-related adverse drug reactions spontaneously reported between October
Meningitis is endemic in Vanuatu and other Pacific island countries and has a high case fatality rate. The incidence in the southern island of Tanna is especially high. This descriptive study of 64 cases in children (under 15 years) on that island was undertaken over a 21-month period from January
