Pneumococcal infection is still a frequent disease. It can be classified as invasive when pneumococcus is isolated in a generally sterile fluid. Pneumonia is the most common infectious source of adult invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), and several risk factors for IPD are well known. This case report presents three clinical cases of different manifestations of IPD. The two most severe cases had coinfection by SARS-CoV-2 at hospital admission.
肺炎球菌感染仍然是一种常见疾病。当在通常无菌的液体中分离出肺炎球菌时,可将其归类为侵袭性感染。肺炎是成人侵袭性肺炎球菌病(IPD)最常见的感染源,并且IPD的几种危险因素已为人熟知。本病例报告展示了IPD不同表现形式的三例临床病例。其中两例最严重的病例在入院时合并感染了SARS-CoV-2。
