Serotype distribution and antimicrobial resistance of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates among Croatian adults during a fifteen-year period (2005-2019)
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease in adults is highest in patients ≥65 years of age. Penicillin susceptibility, increased exposure and macrolide resistance were mostly associated with serotypes 14 and 19A. PCV13 and PPV23 provide very high serotype coverage. Future studies should evaluate the effects of the 10-valent vaccine, introduced in the Croatian National Immunization Program in June 2019, on serotype distribution and antibiotic resistance rates.PMID:35505649 | PMC:PMC9086820 | DOI:10.3325/cmj.2022.63.156

Use of near-real-time medical claims data to generate timely vaccine coverage estimates in the US: The dynamics of PCV13 vaccine uptake.
CONCLUSIONS: By using a simple analytic approach to compute vaccine coverage in aging cohorts from claims data, we show that PCV13 coverage rose rapidly as the PCV7 program was replaced. These estimates, validated against a CDC sentinel surveillance system in 8 states, should enable early documentation of the PCV13 impact on pneumococcal disease in the US. Moreover, they demonstrate the feasibility of tracking uptake patterns in near real-time even with simple summary counts of medical claims data. PMID: 24144470 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Agreement between patients' self‐report and medical records for vaccination: the PGRx database
ConclusionsThe PGRx method for drug exposure assessment is a new tool in pharmacoepidemiology that shows substantial to high agreement between PS and MR for exposure to various vaccines. Our finding of high agreement between PS and MR for HPV vaccination status in young women is a significant addition to the literature. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Self-report compared to electronic medical record across eight adult vaccines: Do results vary by demographic factors?
Abstract Immunizations are crucial to the prevention of disease, thus, having an accurate measure of vaccination status for a population is an important guide in targeting prevention efforts. In order to comprehensively assess the validity of self-reported adult vaccination status for the eight most common adult vaccines we conducted a survey of vaccination receipt and compared it to the electronic medical record (EMR), which was used as the criterion standard, in a population of community-dwelling patients in a large healthcare system. In addition, we assessed whether validity varied by demographic factors. The v...

Local Researchers Forecast Spread Of Ebola
BOSTON (CBS) — Don’t be surprised if there are a few more Ebola cases in the United States in the next couple months. That’s according to a Northeastern University researcher who’s created a forecasting map to predict the spread of the deadly disease. He warns it’s not an exact science, and says a vaccine could change everything. “We have projections for one or two cases at the most during November, December,” Alessandro Vespignani said. He’s leading a team of Northeastern researchers who use a computer mapping model to crunch census data with airport activity and countless other factors. “We...

Rates of pneumonia among children and adults with chronic medical conditions in Germany
Conclusions: An increased risk for all-cause pneumonia in German children and adults with a spectrum of medical conditions persists in the era of widespread pneumococcal vaccination, and pneumonia risk in persons with ≥2 at-risk conditions is comparable or higher than those with high-risk conditions.

Volume: 26 Issue: 4
This article documents the first case of TSS associated with the use of a menstrual cup in a 37-year-old woman. The authors also discuss the history of TSS associated with tampon use and the mechanisms by which menstrual cups may also lead to the syndrome. Avian influenza A (H5N1) infection with respiratory failure and meningoencephalitis in a Canadian travellerSince 1997, more than 600 individuals worldwide have been infected with the poultry-originating influenza, H5N1. This report describes the first case of avian influenza A (H5N1) in the Western hemisphere in a 28-year-old woman who had just returned from a trip to Be...

Vaccination Coverage of Adolescents With Chronic Medical Conditions
Conclusions Pockets of undervaccination and missed opportunities exist among adolescents with CMCs. Greater, more timely influenza vaccination suggests that optimal vaccination of high-risk adolescents is possible.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Trends of < em > Streptococcus pneumoniae < /em > by Age Groups Over Recent 10 Years in a Single Hospital in South Korea
CONCLUSION: Erythromycin and ceftriaxone resistance rates and the MDR rate of S. pneumoniae significantly increased during the recent 10 years; the trends in individual antimicrobial resistance rates significantly differed between the age groups. This study indicates the need for caution when using ceftriaxone as an empirical antimicrobial against pneumococcal infections.PMID:33779084 | DOI:10.3349/ymj.2021.62.4.306
