Abstrakt:	Introduction: Pneumococcal infections and exacerbations are important causes of mortality and morbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The use of inhaled corticosteroids and pneumococcal vaccination are suggested for the control of the disease progression and exacerbations. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on pneumonia and exacerbation in COPD patients using inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs). The secondary aim is to analyze the effect of ICS use and different ICS types, if administered, on exacerbation and pneumonia incidence in the study population. Materials and Methods: Medical records of 108 adult patients with COPD who were vaccinated with the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) were retrospectively evaluated. The number of acute exacerbations and pneumonia within one year before and after vaccination were evaluated in all included COPD patients. The comparison analysis was also performed based on the ICS types. Result: There were statistically significant differences between the mean numbers of pneumonia and exacerbations before and after vaccination (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the mean pneumonia attacks and acute exacerbations between patients using ICS and not using ICS (p> 0.05). Conclusions: This study revealed that PCV13 provides a significant decrease in both exacerbation and pneumonia episodes in COPD patients. On the other hand, the use of ICSs and the types of ICSs were not found to have adverse effects on pneumonia and acute exacerbations in vaccinated COPD patients.
