Purpose of Review: Despite the available pneumococcal conjugate vaccination (PCV), children in developing countries suffer significant morbidity and mortality from pneumococcal illness. This review outlines the pneumococcal carriage rate, common serotypes, antibiotic resistance, and PCV coverage among western Asian children. Recent Findings: The carriage rate and prevalence of PCV serotypes remain high among children in Western Asia. In recent times, the national immunization rates have increased, but there was a considerable rate of invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD) strains and non-invasive pneumococcal diseases (NIPD) serotypes with high antimicrobial resistance rates and many communities in western Asian countries are experiencing the phenomenon of pneumococcal vaccine serotype replacement (PVSR). Summary: An accurate and updated disease surveillance in Western Asia is urgently needed to guide immunization efforts and protect children effectively. Increasing the PCV covering rate and antimicrobial stewardship is crucial for countries to implement strict systems and effectively minimize the high rate of resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
