Despite good cover with 7-valent vaccination, invasive pneumococcal infections may still be misdiagnosed and may lead to lifethreatening situations or death in young children. New serotypes are emerging and, therefore, clinicians must keep a high level of suspicion in young children regardless of their vaccination status. We report three cases of invasive pneumococcal infection due to new serotypes not covered by the 7-valent conjugated vaccine, two of which led children to death.
尽管7价疫苗提供了良好的防护,但侵袭性肺炎球菌感染仍可能被误诊,并且可能导致幼儿出现危及生命的情况或死亡。新的血清型不断出现,因此,无论幼儿的疫苗接种状况如何,临床医生都必须保持高度怀疑。我们报告了3例由7价结合疫苗未涵盖的新血清型引起的侵袭性肺炎球菌感染病例,其中2例导致儿童死亡。
