Pneumococcal Necrotizing Pneumonia in Utah: Does Serotype Matter?

Pneumococcal Necrotizing Pneumonia in Utah: Does Serotype Matter?

Background. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of bacterial pneumonia in children. Despite the use of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, the incidence of pneumococcal necrotizing pneumonia (PNP) has been increasing. Our objectives were to describe temporal trends in PNP and...

Zusammenfassung:Background. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of bacterial pneumonia in children. Despite the use of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, the incidence of pneumococcal necrotizing pneumonia (PNP) has been increasing. Our objectives were to describe temporal trends in PNP and to evaluate pneumococcal serotypes associated with PNP in Utah. Methods. We performed a retrospective review of all children
