Global, regional, and national disease burden estimates of acute lower respiratory infections due to respiratory syncytial virus in young children in 2015: a systematic review and modelling study

Ting Shi, +138 more
- 02 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated the incidence and hospital admission rate of RSV-associated acute lower respiratory infection (RSV-ALRI) in children younger than 5 years stratified by age and World Bank income regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Causes of severe pneumonia requiring hospital admission in children without HIV infection from Africa and Asia: the PERCH multi-country case-control study

TL;DR: Estimating causes of pneumonia in young African and Asian children, using novel analytical methods applied to clinical and microbiological findings, estimated that viruses accounted for 61·4% (95% credible interval [CrI] 57·3–65·6) of causes, whereas bacteria accounted for 27·3% (23·3-31·6).
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccination on pneumonia in The Gambia: population-based surveillance and case-control studies.

TL;DR: The introduction of PCV in The Gambia was associated with a moderate impact on the incidence of radiological pneumonia, a small reduction in cases of hospitalised pneumonia, and substantial reductions of pneumococcal and hypoxic pneumonia in young children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Density of Upper Respiratory Colonization With Streptococcus pneumoniae and Its Role in the Diagnosis of Pneumococcal Pneumonia Among Children Aged <5 Years in the PERCH Study

Henry C. Baggett, +88 more
TL;DR: Upper airway pneumococcal colonization density among children hospitalized with World Health Organization–defined pneumonia was associated with microbiologically confirmed pneumococCal pneumonia (MCPP) and the optimal colonization density threshold was ≥7 log10 copies/mL.
