Chest high-resolution computed tomography showed a patchy consolidation and ground-glass attenuation in the both lungs, consistent with acute interstitial pneumonia. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy revealed organizing pneumonia with marked intra-alveolar fibrin, and pathologically diagnosed as acute fibrinous organizing pneumonia (AFOP). Other causative ...

Co-administration of the adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine with other adult vaccines: An overview
CONCLUSIONS: Co-administration of RZV with routine vaccines does not significantly alter the reactogenicity, immunogenicity or safety of RZV or the co-administered vaccine. Healthcare practitioners should consider routine co-administration of RZV with other adult vaccines to improve vaccination coverage.PMID:38423814 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.02.035 (Source: Herpes)

Ongoing measles outbreak, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, December 2023 to February 2024
We report on an ongoing measles outbreak in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina with 141 cases notified between week 52 2023 and week 6 2024. Among those with known vaccination status, 97% were unvaccinated and the most affected group is children under the age of 5 years (n = 87) who were not vaccinated during the pandemic years. Sixty-eight cases were hospitalised, the most common complications were measles-related pneumonia and diarrhoea. The sequenced measles viruses from four cases belonged to genotype D8.

High diversity within and low but significant genetic differentiation among geographic and temporal populations of the global Streptococcus pneumoniae
In this study, we investigated the spatial and temporal patterns of genetic variation of S. pneumoniae based on archived multilocus sequence typing data from PubMLST.org. Our analyses demonstrated both shared and unique distributions of sequence types (STs) and allele types among regional populations. Among the 17 915 global STs, 36 representing 15 263 isolates were broadly shared among all six continents, consistent with recent clonal dispersal and expansion of this pathogen. The analysis of molecular variance revealed that >96% genetic variations were found within individual regional populations. However, though...

A conserved antigen induces respiratory Th17-mediated broad serotype protection against pneumococcal superinfection
Cell Host Microbe. 2024 Feb 21:S1931-3128(24)00037-4. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2024.02.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeveral vaccines targeting bacterial pathogens show reduced efficacy upon concurrent viral infection, indicating that a new vaccinology approach is required. To identify antigens for the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae that are effective following influenza infection, we performed CRISPRi-seq in a murine model of superinfection and identified the conserved lafB gene as crucial for virulence. We show that LafB is a membrane-associated, intracellular protein that catalyzes the formation of galactosyl-g...

How common is otogenic meningitis? A retrospective study in southern Sweden over 18 years
ConclusionAOM is an important cause of meningitis in children and adults. Though bacterial meningitis almost disappeared in children < 2 years after the introduction of PCV, the incidence of pneumococcal meningitis in adults seems to have increased. (Source: Infection)

Effect of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine on Pneumonia Incidence Rates among Children 2-59 Months of Age, Mongolia, 2015-2021
Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Mar;30(3):490-498. doi: 10.3201/eid3003.230864.ABSTRACTStarting in June 2016, the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) was introduced into the routine immunization program of Mongolia by using a 2+1 dosing schedule, phased by district. We used prospective hospital surveillance to evaluate the vaccine's effect on pneumonia incidence rates among children 2-59 months of age over a 6-year period. Of 17,607 children with pneumonia, overall adjusted incidence rate ratios showed decreased primary endpoint pneumonia, very severe pneumonia, and probable pneumococcal pneumonia until June 2021.

The association between influenza vaccination uptake and influenza and pneumonia-associated deaths in the United States
DISCUSSION: These results using a population-level statistical approach provide additional support for the overall effectiveness of the US influenza vaccination program. This reassurance is critical given the importance of ensuring confidence in this life saving program. Future research is needed to expand on our approach using more refined data.PMID:38403498 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.01.089 (Source: Vaccine)
