Widespread introduction of pneumococcal conjugated vaccines (PCVs) impacted on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). However, IPD reduction may not be similar in all outcomes within IPD. We assessed PCV7/PCV13 impact on pneumococcal meningitis, bacteremic pneumonia (BP) and other (non-meningitis, non-pneumonia) IPD episodes in children <5years in Israel.
A prospective, population-based, active nationwide surveillance. All pneumococcal invasive episodes with positive blood/CSF cultures, July 2000 through June 2016, were included. Three sub-periods were defined: pre-PCV (2000-2008), PCV7 (2009-2011) and PCV13 (2014-2016). Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were calculated.
Overall, 4321 episodes were recorded; 456 (10.6%) meningitis, 1478 (34.2%) pneumonia and 2387 (55.2%) other-IPD. In the pre-PCV period, proportion of serotypes in PCV13, but not in PCV7 (mainly serotypes 1, 5 and 19A) was higher in BP (43.3%) compared with other-IPD episodes (32.8%, p<0.001) and similar to that of meningitis (37.6%, p=0.1). The proportion of episodes in children <12months was higher in meningitis (52.1%) compared with pneumonia (23.2%) and other-IPD episodes (39.5%; p<0.001 for both). The declines of the 3 entities were not similar; Meningitis rate non-significantly declined by 24% (IRR=0.76; 95% CI 0.57-1.01), while BP and other-IPD rates significantly declined by 57% and 70%, respectively. In contrast to other entities, BP did not decline significantly after PCV7 introduction but started to decline only after PCV13 introduction. Rates of meningitis, pneumonia and other-IPD caused by PCV13-serotypes (VT13) substantially declined by 88%, 95% and 97%, respectively, comparing PCV13 and the pre-PCV periods. However, diseases caused by non-VT13 increased by 256%, 302% in meningitis and pneumonia, respectively, but only 116% in other-IPD.
Following PCV7/PCV13 introduction, rates of episodes caused by VT13 were substantially reduced in all 3 groups. However, differences in age distribution, serotype replacement and specific serotype decrease suggest different pathogenesis and host susceptibility between the 3 entities.
肺炎球菌结合疫苗(PCV)的广泛应用对侵袭性肺炎球菌病(IPD)产生了影响。然而,IPD 各类型的减少情况可能并不相同。我们评估了 PCV7/PCV13 对以色列 5 岁以下儿童中肺炎球菌性脑膜炎、菌血症性肺炎(BP)和其他(非脑膜炎、非肺炎)IPD 病例的影响。
这是一项前瞻性、基于人群的、全国性主动监测研究。纳入了 2000 年 7 月至 2016 年 6 月期间所有血/CSF 培养阳性的侵袭性肺炎球菌病例。定义了三个亚时期:PCV 前(2000-2008 年)、PCV7(2009-2011 年)和 PCV13(2014-2016 年)。计算了发病率比值比(IRR)。
共记录了 4321 例病例;456 例(10.6%)为脑膜炎,1478 例(34.2%)为肺炎,2387 例(55.2%)为其他 IPD。在 PCV 前时期,BP 中 PCV13 但不是 PCV7 血清型(主要为血清型 1、5 和 19A)的比例(43.3%)高于其他 IPD 病例(32.8%,p<0.001),与脑膜炎相似(37.6%,p=0.1)。在 12 个月以下的儿童中,脑膜炎的病例比例(52.1%)高于肺炎(23.2%)和其他 IPD 病例(39.5%;p<0.001 均如此)。这三种疾病的下降情况并不相似;脑膜炎的发病率下降了 24%,但无统计学意义(IRR=0.76;95%CI 0.57-1.01),而 BP 和其他 IPD 的发病率分别显著下降了 57%和 70%。与其他实体不同,BP 在引入 PCV7 后并未显著下降,而是在引入 PCV13 后才开始下降。与 PCV13 前时期相比,脑膜炎、肺炎和其他 IPD 由 PCV13 血清型(VT13)引起的发病率分别显著下降了 88%、95%和 97%。然而,非 VT13 引起的疾病增加了 256%、302%(分别在脑膜炎和肺炎中),而在其他 IPD 中仅增加了 116%。
在引入 PCV7/PCV13 后,所有 3 组中由 VT13 引起的病例发病率均显著降低。然而,年龄分布、血清型替代和特定血清型下降的差异表明,这三种疾病的发病机制和宿主易感性不同。
