Clinical and economic burden of invasive pneumococcal disease and non-invasive all-cause pneumonia in hospitalized US adults: A multicenter analysis from 2015-2020
Streptococcus pneumoniae can cause both invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), which occurs when bacteria enter normally sterile sites such as the bloodstream or cerebrospinal fluid, and non-invasive PD, which includes community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), and otitis media. Both types of PD exert a significant clinical and economic burden on patients and society [1], and this burden is particularly substantial in adults. Older adults and adults of all ages with certain chronic or immunocompromising conditions are at increased risk for pneumococcal disease (PD) [2,3].

Respiratory Aspects of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
This review article explores the respiratory aspects of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a rare, heterogenous, genetic disorder characterized by impaired motile ciliary function. It discusses the clinical diagnosis and management strategies for PCD-related respiratory disease, including chronic sinusitis, otitis media with effusion, recurrent pneumonia, and bronchiectasis. The review emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach to optimize care and clinical trials to improve outcomes in individuals with PCD, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis.
