King LM, Lewnard JA. Health-economic burden attributable to novel serotypes in candidate 24- and 31-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines. Vaccine 2024; 42:126310. [PMID: 39260055 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.126310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 08/07/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/13/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Next-generation pneumococcal vaccines currently in clinical trials include 24- and 31-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV24, PCV31), which aim to prevent upper-respiratory carriage and disease involving the targeted serotypes. We aimed to estimate the comprehensive health-economic burden associated with acute respiratory infections (ARIs) and invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) attributable to PCV24- and PCV31-additional (non-PCV20) serotypes in the United States. MATERIAL AND METHODS We multiplied all-cause incidence rate estimates for acute otitis media (AOM), sinusitis, and non-bacteremic pneumonia by estimates of the proportions of each of these conditions attributable to pneumococci and the proportions of pneumococcal infections involving PCV24- and PCV31-additional serotypes. We estimated serotype-specific IPD incidence rates using US Active Bacterial Core surveillance data. We accounted for direct medical and non-medical costs associated with each condition to estimate resulting health-economic burden. Non-medical costs included missed work and lost quality-adjusted life years due to death and disability. RESULTS The health-economic burden of PCV24-additional serotypes totaled $1.3 ($1.1-1.7) billion annually in medical and non-medical costs, comprised of $0.9 ($0.7-1.2) billion due to ARIs and $0.4 ($0.3-0.5) billion due to IPD. For PCV31-additional serotypes, medical and non-medical costs totaled $7.5 ($6.6-8.6) billion annually, with $5.5 ($4.7-6.6) billion due to ARIs and $1.9 ($1.8-2.1) billion due to IPD. The largest single driver of costs was non-bacteremic pneumonia, particularly in adults aged 50-64 and ≥65 years. CONCLUSIONS Additional serotypes in PCV24 and PCV31, especially those included in PCV31, account for substantial health-economic burden in the United States.

JOURNAL OF MICROBIOLOGY, IMMUNOLOGY, AND INFECTION = WEI MIAN YU GAN RAN ZA ZHI 2022; 55:1283-1292. [PMID: 36117089 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmii.2022.07.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
The characteristics, risk factors, microbial distributions and effective treatment regimens for Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) patients intractable to empirical therapy were analyzed. Adult CSOM patients of China Medical University Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were included. Subjects of refractory and non-refractory groups were investigated for characteristics of age, sex, nation, comorbidities, otomycosis, and associated complications. Risk factors, microbiology distributions, and treatment regimens were analyzed. Twenty-six refractory patients (55.0 ± 17.7 years) and 66 non-refractory patients (54.1 ± 13.7 years) were studied. A significantly higher rate of otomycosis and CSOM complications was observed in refractory group than in non-refractory one (73.1% vs. 36.4%; p = 0.002; 57.7% vs. 10.6%, p < 0.001, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed atopic diathesis (p = 0.048), otomycosis (p = 0.003) and CSOM complications (p < 0.001) were risk factors of refractory CSOM. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were the prevailing pathogens. Patients of refractory group tented to have higher rates of mixed infection (42.9%% vs. 23.7%) and significantly more included fungal pathogen (19.0% vs. 2.6%; p = 0.049) than those of non-refractory cohort. Topical treatment of fungus significantly improved outcome of refractory CSOM. Atopic diathesis, otomycosis, and CSOM-associated complications were risk factors of refractory CSOM. Systemic and local treatment to possible drug-resistant pathogens, likely CoNS and fungus, possible improves recalcitrant CSOM. Correspondingly, early identification of CSOM complications, routine culture and susceptibility testing and treatment of resistant bacteria and fungus are key elements to the successful management of adult CSOM.

[PMID: 34937875 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-021-01772-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Revised: 09/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A national 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) catch-up program among children aged 2-5 years in 2013, before routine infant immunization in 2015, successfully reduced serotype 19A-related invasive pneumococcal diseases in Taiwan. We aimed to investigate its impact on hospitalized childhood pneumonia. METHODS We analyzed the National Health Insurance Research Database, 2001-2017, for hospitalized children aged <18 years with the diagnoses of all-cause pneumonia, lobar/pneumococcal pneumonia, and pneumococcal parapneumonic diseases. The study period was divided into 2001-2005 (pre-PCV), 2006-2012 (private sectors), and 2013-2017 (universal PCV13 vaccination). RESULTS On pneumococcal parapneumonic diseases, the national PCV13 vaccination program was associated with an immediate decline in 2-4-year-old children and significant decreasing trends in all ages. The incidence rate ratios of 2016-2017/2011-2012 were 0.16 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.06-0.40) and 0.18 (95% CI, 0.13-0.23) in children aged < 2 and 2-4 years, respectively. We observed an increase of lobar/pneumococcal pneumonia cases after an early decline. The intensive/invasive medical needs and the fatality of all-cause pneumonia decreased significantly in children of all ages. CONCLUSIONS Pneumococcal parapneumonic diseases and the disease burden of lobar/pneumococcal pneumonia and lower respiratory tract infections declined after the national PCV13 vaccination program. IMPACT The impact study of the PCV13 immunization program on childhood pneumonia in Asian countries remained limited. The unique PCV13 immunization program in Taiwan, catch-up before primary infantile series, reduced severe childhood pneumococcal pneumonia at 5 years post PCV13. The intensive and invasive medical needs and fatality of all-cause pneumonia decreased significantly in children of all ages. We observed an increase in lobar/pneumococcal pneumonia after an early decline.

Nasopharyngeal carriage rates and serotype distribution of Streptococcus pneumoniae among school children with acute otitis media in Central Java, Indonesia. Access Microbiol 2021; 3:000249. [PMID: 34595398 PMCID: PMC8479961 DOI: 10.1099/acmi.0.000249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Accepted: 06/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common bacterial pathogen that causes acute otitis media (AOM) in children. In this study, we investigated nasopharyngeal carriage rates and serotype distributions of S. pneumoniae among school children with AOM in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, from 2018 to 2019. Nasopharyngeal swab specimens and demographic data were collected from 122 children between the ages of 6 and 12. The specimens were cultured for the identification of S. pneumoniae, and serotyping was performed using a sequential multiplex PCR assay. We found that the S. pneumoniae carriage rate was 73 % (89/122) among children with AOM. Serotypes 23A (11 %) and 6A/6B (10 %) were the most common serotypes among the 91 cultured S. pneumoniae strains, followed by 3 (8 %), 14 (7 %), 6C/6D (7 %), 11A/11D (6 %), 15B/15C (4 %) and 35 B (4 %). Moreover, 41 % of the strains could be covered by the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, PCV13. In conclusion, high nasopharyngeal carriage rates of S. pneumoniae were found in school children with AOM, with almost half of the strains being the vaccine-type. This finding provides a baseline for nasopharyngeal carriage of S. pneumoniae in school children with AOM and supports the implementation of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in Indonesia.

J Glob Antimicrob Resist 2021; 26:308-316. [PMID: 34289409 PMCID: PMC8437679 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgar.2021.07.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2021] [Revised: 06/27/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the trends in serotypes and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae causing adult invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) to dalbavancin, telavancin, tedizolid, eravacycline, omadacycline and other comparator antibiotics from 2017–2020 following implementation of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV-13) and during the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. Methods During the study period, 237 S. pneumoniae isolates were collected from non-duplicate patients, covering 15.0% of IPD cases in Taiwan. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a Sensititre® system. A latex agglutination method (ImmuLex™ Pneumotest Kit) was used to determine serotypes. Results Susceptibility rates were high for vancomycin (100%), teicoplanin (100%) and linezolid (100%), followed by ceftaroline (non-meningitis) (98.3%), moxifloxacin (94.9%) and quinupristin/dalfopristin (89.9%). MIC50 and MIC90 values of dalbavancin, telavancin, tedizolid, eravacycline and omadacycline were generally low. Non-vaccine serotype 23A was the leading cause of IPD across the adult age range. Isolates of serotype 15B were slightly fewer than those of PCV-13 serotypes in patients aged ≥65 years. The overall case fatality rate was 15.2% (36/237) but was especially high for non-PCV-13 serotype 15B (21.4%; 3/14). Vaccine coverage was 44.7% for PCV-13 and 49.4% for the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV-23), but was 57% for both PCV-13 and PPSV-23. Conclusion The incidence of IPD was stationary after PCV-13 introduction and only dramatically decreased in the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The MIC50 and MIC90 values of dalbavancin, telavancin, tedizolid, eravacycline, omadacycline were generally low for S. pneumoniae causing adult IPD.
