A global resurgence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) has been noted in children. We provide a detailed clinical and epidemiological analysis of IPD in Australian children following relaxation of nonpharmaceutical interventions against coronavirus disease 2019, revealing significant morbidity and mortality-even in vaccinated children without known predisposing risk factors. Almost half of the IPD cases were caused by serotypes not covered by the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
全球侵袭性肺炎球菌病(IPD)在儿童中再次出现。我们详细分析了澳大利亚儿童在放松针对 2019 年冠状病毒病的非药物干预措施后的 IPD 情况,结果显示即使是接种疫苗且无已知易感危险因素的儿童,发病率和死亡率仍很高。几乎一半的 IPD 病例是由 13 价肺炎球菌结合疫苗未覆盖的血清型引起的。
