1. 1. Invasive Pneumococcal Infections

   Författare :Erik Backhaus; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Streptococcus pneumoniae; epidemiology; risk factors; pneumonia; meningitis; serotype; clonal complex;

   Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of disease, ranging from uncomplicated respiratory infections to severe invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), including bacteraemic pneumonia, septicaemia with unknown focus and meningitis. Case fatality rate (CFR) remains high and antibiotic resistance is increasing globally. S. LÄS MER

4. 3. Molecular epidemiology of pneumococcal carriage and invasive disease

   Författare :Karin Sjöström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pneumoniae, also known as pneumococcus, is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is the main cause of respiratory tract infections such as otitis media and sinusitis, but also causes millions of deaths each year due to pneumonia, meningitis and septicemia, especially among children and the elderly.

5. 4. Celiac disease and Infections

   Författare :Anna Röckert Tjernberg; Jonas F. Ludvigsson; Jonas Bonnedahl; Carolina Ciacci; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Celiac disease; small intestinal; infection; respiratory syncytial virus; sepsis; streptococcus pneumoniae; complement; cohort; register; Medicine; Medicin;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated enteropathy affecting about 1% of the population worldwide. CD is triggered by ingestion of gluten in genetically predisposed individuals but additional factors (e.g. infections) are required for the disease to develop. LÄS MER

7. 5. Respiratory Tract Infections: Aspects of Aetiology, Virulence, and Communicable Disease Control

   Författare :Jonas Ahl; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Streptococcus pneumoniae; day care center; communicable disease control intervention; eradication therapy; invasive pneumococcal disease; serotype 3; aetiology; ventilator-associated pneumonia;

   Sammanfattning : The paediatric nasopharyngeal flora is regarded as the largest reservoir for Streptococcus pneumoniae, and the carrier state is always antecedent to infection and a prerequisite for dispersion of these bacteria. Pneumococci are the predominant aetiology of bacterial respiratory tract infections and a major cause of morbidity and mortality, in the most severe cases due to invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD; mainly sepsis and meningitis).
