Associations between complementary medicine utilization and influenza/pneumococcal vaccination: Results of a national cross-sectional survey of 9151 Australian women
Publication date: Available online 12 September 2017 Source:Preventive Medicine Author(s): Jon Wardle, Jane Frawley, Jon Adams, David Sibbritt, Amie Steel, Romy Lauche Influenza and pneumococcal vaccination is recommended for all adults, with older adults considered a high-risk group for targeted intervention. As such it is important for factors affecting vaccine uptake in this group to be examined. Complementary medicine (CM) use has been suggested as a possible factor associated with lower vaccination uptake. To determine if associations exist between influenza and pneumococcal vaccine uptake in older Australian women a...

Molecular Characterization of Streptococcus pyogenes Causing Invasive Disease in Pediatric Population in Spain A 12-year Study
Objectives: To perform a comprehensive description of the epidemiology of Streptococcus pyogenes invasive disease in the pediatric population in 2 regions of Spain (Catalonia and Gipuzkoa) through 12 years. Methods: All S. pyogenes isolates causing invasive disease in pediatric patients between 2005 and 2016 were included. The emm-type and the presence of 13 exotoxin genes (speA, speB, speC, speF, speG, speH, speI, speJ, speK, speL, speM, smeZ, ssa and slo) were determined in all 93 available isolates and the Multi Locus Sequece Typing in 10% of isolates of each different emm-type. Results: Overall, 103 cases of S....

Increasing Rates of Pediatric Empyema and Disease Severity With Predominance of Serotype 3 S. pneumonia: An Australian Single-center, Retrospective Cohort 2011 to 2018
Background: The impact of universal 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine immunization on pediatric empyema rates and pathogens in Australia is not known. We aimed to describe empyema epidemiology, clinical characteristics and treatment during an 8-year period. Methods: A retrospective study between 2011 and 2018 of empyema cases admitted to a large pediatric referral hospital, for management with either pleural drainage and fibrinolytics or surgical intervention. Results: There were 195 cases in 8 years. Empyema incidence and ICU admission rates significantly increased during the study with a peak incidence of ...

Characteristics and etiology of hospitalized pediatric community-acquired pneumonia in Taiwan.
CONCLUSIONS: CAP related pathogens have changed after increased conjugated pneumococcal vaccination rates. This study described the latest incidences and trends of CAP pathogens, which are crucial for prompt delivery of appropriate therapy. PMID: 32682702 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Physicians' gut feeling is useful in diagnosing serious infection in children
Commentary on: Van den Bruel A, Thompson M, Buntinx F, et al.. Clinicians’ gut feeling about serious infections in children: observational study. BMJ 2012;345:e6144. Context With the advent of effective vaccinations, serious infections (SI) have become rare among children presenting to primary care settings, yet when not diagnosed promptly, such infections, especially meningitis and septic shock, can cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Hence, researchers continue to search for new diagnostic methods; the present study by Van den Bruel and colleagues investigates the basis and value of gut feeling or intuition ...

Primary Care Physicians' Struggle with Current Adult Pneumococcal Vaccine Recommendations
Conclusions: Almost all surveyed physicians reported recommending both pneumococcal vaccines, but a disconnect seems to exist between perceived clarity and knowledge of the recommendations. Optimal implementation of these recommendations will require addressing knowledge gaps and reported barriers.

Organ damage mitigation with the Baskent Sickle Cell Medical Care Development Program (BASCARE)
The Eastern Mediterranean is among the regions where sickle cell disease (SCD) is common. The morbidity and mortality of this disease can be postponed to adulthood through therapies implemented in childhood. The present study focuses on the organ damage-reducing effects of the Baskent Sickle Cell Medical Care Development Program (BASCARE), which was developed by a team who lives in this region and has approximately 25 years of experience. The deliverables of the program included the development of an electronic health recording system (PRANA) and electronic vaccination system; the use of low citrate infusion in routine pro...

Invasive pneumococcal infections in pediatric liver ‐small bowel‐pancreas transplant recipients
In conclusion, despite partial or complete pneumococcal immunization and reported antimicrobial prophylaxis, IPI in LSBPTx children can have a fatal outcome. Routine monitoring of pneumococcal serotype antibodies to determine the timing for revaccination might be warranted to ensure protective immunity in these transplant recipients.

Intracranial complications of pediatric sinusitis: Identifying risk factors associated with prolonged clinical course
Intracranial extension is one of the most serious and morbid complications of pediatric sinusitis. Managing this complication continues to be challenging even after widespread pneumococcal vaccination adoption. We aim to identify risk factors associated with complicated clinical courses, and to assess for altering microbial communities and increased antibiotic resistance.

National Incidence of Pediatric Mastoiditis in the United States, 2000–2012: Creating a Baseline for Public Health Surveillance
Between 2000 and 2012, the national estimated incidence rate of pediatric mastoiditis, a rare but serious complication of acute otitis media, was highest in 2006 (2.7/100,000 population) and lowest in 2012 (1.8/100,000 population). This measure provides a baseline for public health surveillance in the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine era as stewardship efforts target antibiotic use in acute otitis media.

Atypical and fulminant presentations of pneumococcal infections: A case series in a tertiary intensive care unit.
We describe some of the cases in depth. Given our observed change in infecting serotypes and extreme clinical manifestations of pneumococcal disease, a systematic clinical registry of pneumococcal infections in the ICU may be a valuable addition to pneumococcal disease surveillance.
