Triumph of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines: Overcoming a Common Foe

Gail L. Rodgers, Cynthia G. Whitney, Keith P. Klugman

Summary: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine has successfully reduced the burden of disease and provided herd protection for those who cannot be vaccinated. While widely rolled out in poor countries, there are still many unvaccinated children in middle income countries. Solutions being considered include reducing doses and supporting more affordable vaccine sources.

Clinical and Bacteriological Analysis of Pediatric Pneumococcal Meningitis after 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Introduction in Japan

Erika Kurihara, Kenichi Takeshita, Saori Tanaka, Noriko Takeuchi, Misako Ohkusu, Haruka Hishiki, Naruhiko Ishiwada

Summary: We conducted a study of 34 cases of pediatric pneumococcal meningitis reported after the introduction of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in Japan. Our results revealed that non-PCV13 serotypes were the main cause of pneumococcal meningitis in children, and all cases with sequelae and death were caused by non-PCV13 serotypes. Furthermore, all penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae strains (26.5%; 9/34) belonged to non-PCV13 serotypes. We also analyzed the antimicrobial susceptibilities of isolated S. pneumoniae strains to glycopeptides, linezolid, and daptomycin. All tested strains were susceptible to vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid, and daptomycin, with daptomycin showing the best outcome. Pneumococcal meningitis in children remains an ongoing challenge, and monitoring the serotype and antimicrobial susceptibility of strains is crucial for informing treatment strategies.

Pneumococcal Meningitis in Adults: A Prospective Nationwide Cohort Study Over a 20-year Period

Diederik L. H. Koelman, Matthijs C. Brouwer, Liora ter Horst, Merijn W. Bijlsma, Arie van der Ende, Diederik van de Beek

Summary: The epidemiology and treatment of pneumococcal meningitis in the Netherlands has changed with the implementation of conjugate vaccines and adjunctive dexamethasone therapy, leading to a decrease in incidence of certain serotypes and an increase in the use of dexamethasone therapy. Although dexamethasone therapy was associated with a favorable outcome, pneumococcal meningitis still remains associated with a high rate of mortality and morbidity, highlighting the need for continuous efforts in identifying new adjunctive treatments.

Yvette N. N. Lowensteyn, Joukje E. E. Willemsen, Natalie I. I. Mazur, Nienke M. M. Scheltema, Nynke C. J. van Haastregt, Amber A. A. ten Buuren, Ichelle van Roessel, Dunja Scheepmaker, Harish Nair, Peter M. M. van de Ven, Louis J. J. Bont

Summary: This study provides the first global case series of children dying with nosocomial RSV infection. Infant-targeted immunization strategies in the future could prevent the majority of nosocomial RSV-related deaths. Although nosocomial RSV deaths are expected to occur at highest rates in low- and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs), the reported number of these deaths was low in these countries. Hospital-based surveillance is needed to capture the full burden of nosocomial RSV mortality in LMICs.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants: burden of disease, impact on vaccine effectiveness and need for variant-adapted vaccines

Shanti Pather, Shabir A. Madhi, Benjamin J. Cowling, Paul Moss, Jeremy P. Kamil, Sandra Ciesek, Alexander Muik, Oezlem Tuereci

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, first detected in late 2021, has caused waves of infections with different sub-lineages becoming dominant over time. It generally causes milder disease compared to earlier variants, but has overwhelmed healthcare systems in countries with low population immunity. Pediatric admissions during Omicron waves have been higher than previous waves. Omicron sub-lineages partially escape vaccine-elicited antibodies, highlighting the need for variant-adapted vaccines to improve protection.
