Abstract

- Pneumococci isolated from blood and cerebrospinal fluid from 1998 to 2001 in 2 counties in south-west Sweden were serotyped with the capsular reaction test. Of the 836 strains, 353 (42%), 598 (72%) and 789 (94%) belonged to serotypes included in the 7- and 11-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines and in the 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine, respectively. The most common serotype was type 1 (119 isolates) followed in descending frequency by serotypes 7F, 9V, 14, 4 and 12F (90-49 isolates per serotype). The coverage rates of the 7- and 11-valent conjugate vaccines among 58 strains isolated from children and adolescents 0-19 y of age were 46% and 93%, respectively. A comparison of clinical characteristics of infections caused by different serotypes showed that types 1 and 7F were less commonly associated with severe underlying diseases, that patients infected with these serotypes were younger than the average and, thus, had a lower case-fatality rate.
