| Popis: | The pneumococcal antigens contained in the polysaccharide (PPV23) and conjugate (7-valent, PCV7; 13-valent, PCV13) vaccines have been chosen since they represent the serotypes that more frequently cause invasive pneumococcal disease. Whether these vaccines cover the serotypes most frequently isolated in haematology patients is unclear. The serotype distribution among Streptococcus pneumoniae in 25 consecutive pneumococcal infections that occurred over the last 3 years in two French haematology departments was investigated. The pneumococcal vaccines PCV7, PCV13 and PPV23 were found to cover 76, 84 and 92%, respectively, of the serotypes found. |
