Invasive pneumococcal disease in Australia 2007 and 2008.

摘要: Enhanced surveillance for invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) was conducted in all Australian states and territories 2007 2008 with comprehensive comparative data available since 2002. There were 1,477 cases of IPD notified to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System Australia 2007; a notification rate 7.0 per 100,000 population. In there 1,628 cases; 7.6 The overall Indigenous Australians almost 6 times non-Indigenous 5 2008. By 2008, 4th year funded universal infant 7-valent conjugate vaccine (7vPCV) program 3+0 schedule, serotype rates those identified as decreased age groups compared 2002 levels, most significantly by 96% children aged less than years. However, non-vaccine serotypes increased 168% years, including four-fold increase number due 19A. For Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander population, national pre-vaccination are not available, this group from 2001. From proportion 7vPCV years 77%, while non-7vPCV 76%. adults ( >=50 years), 23vPPV 92%. 120 deaths attributed 113 although it should be noted that may under-reported. isolates reduced penicillin susceptibility remains low third-generation cephalosporins is rare.
