Pneumococcal Vaccination in Adults
Am J Nurs. 2023 Sep 1;123(9):48-51. doi: 10.1097/01.NAJ.0000978148.47780.7f.ABSTRACTThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recently updated the adult pneumococcal vaccine recommendations to include two new pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs): PCV15 and PCV20. The authors review the updated guideline recommendations, their advantages and disadvantages, and nursing implications.PMID:37615467 | DOI:10.1097/01.NAJ.0000978148.47780.7f

Difference in respiratory syncytial virus-specific Fc-mediated antibody effector functions between children and adults
In this study, we have assessed both quantitative and qualitative aspects of RSV-specific serum antibodies, including IgG/IgA levels, IgG subclasses, antibody-dependent complement deposition (ADCD), cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and NK cell activation (ADNKA). Samples were collected cross-sectionally in different age groups (11-, 24-, and 46-month-old children, adults, and older adults; n=31-35 per group) and longitudinally following natural RSV infection in (older) adults (2-36 months post infection; n=10). We found that serum of 24-month-old children induces significantly lower ADNKA than serum of adults (p<0.01), whi...

Individual polysaccharide quantification in polyvalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine using rate nephelometry
J Immunol Methods. 2023 Aug 16:113539. doi: 10.1016/j.jim.2023.113539. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) contains purified polysaccharides of different serotypes conjugated to a carrier protein. Testing the final formulated product for individual serotype polysaccharide content is critical in vaccine quality control which requires an assay specific to each serotype polysaccharide present in the formulated product. Antibodies specific to the serotypes specific polysaccharide were used in rate nephelometry assay for quantifying individual serotype polysaccharides in the formul...

Clinical and healthcare utilization outcomes during the 6 months following COVID infection in children
CONCLUSION: Severe disease and diagnoses of new conditions are rare in children following COVID infection. We observed an increase in cardiac complications, though they may not last long term.IMPACT: Few studies have analyzed the association between COVID infection and medium-term outcomes in children. Our study of >447,000 geographically and socioeconomically diverse children in the US found that uncommon acute adverse events, including myocarditis, MIS-C, and acute heart failure, were more frequent in children with COVID than matched controls, and development of arrhythmias and cardiovascular disease were 1.2 and 1.4 ...

The serotype-specific prevalence of pneumococci in hospitalized pneumonia patients with COPD: a prospective, multi-center, cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Serotypes 22F, 6A, and 6B, which are covered either by PPV 23 or by PCV 13, are still common pneumococcal serotypes in COPD pneumonia in the post-vaccination era in Korea.PMID:37586811 | DOI:10.3904/kjim.2023.152
