[PMID: 33011068 DOI: 10.1016/j.jiac.2020.09.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Revised: 08/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
We conducted a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the reported epidemiology and burden of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and pneumococcal pneumonia (PP) among children and adults aged 6-64 years in Japan. Studies published from Japan between September 2009 and September 2019 and indexed in the MEDLINE/PubMed or ICHUSHI databases were evaluated. A majority of the studies reported overlapping age ranges, including children aged <6 years and adults aged >64 years. According to the national surveillance data, 19% of the IPD cases were patients aged 5-59 years, and an increasing trend in IPD cases was reported from 2013 to 2017. Comorbidities were consistent with those reported by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Deaths from IPD appeared to increase nearly 3-fold between 2013 and 2017. Overall, both 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) coverage was higher for IPD compared with PP. All the serotypes known to be prominent in Japan were also identified as common serotypes (3, 6A, 19A: PCV13 serotypes; 12F: outbreak serotype; 15A, 35B: drug-resistant serotypes). This systematic literature review suggests a substantial burden of IPD and PP in Japanese children and adults aged 6-64 years. The burden of comorbidities, hospitalizations, and mortality was particularly high among adults. Concerted pneumococcal vaccination strategies may help to reduce the incidence and burden of IPD and PP in this large proportion of the Japanese population.
