摘要
We analyzed characteristics of invasive pneumococcal disease cases occurring in Massachusetts after the introduction and use of conjugate vaccine by underlying risk. Among 578 cases with sufficient information, 16% had high-risk or presumed high-risk conditions (HR/PHR), 3% had asthma, and 80% had no known risk (NKR). The most common HR/PHR conditions were disorders associated with immunosuppression. HR/PHR cases tended to be older and were more likely to be hospitalized than were children with NKR. Children with asthma presented with pneumonia more often than children with NKR.
