Journal ArticleDOI

James Mark Simmerman,Malinee Chittaganpitch,Jens W. Levy,Somrak Chantra,Susan A. Maloney,Timothy M. Uyeki,Peera Areerat,Somsak Thamthitiwat,Sonja J. Olsen,Alicia M. Fry,Kumnuan Ungchusak,Henry C. Baggett,Supamit Chunsuttiwat +12 more
TL;DR: The findings support a recent Thailand Ministry of Public Health decision to extend annual influenza vaccination to older adults and suggest that children should also be targeted for routine vaccination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alicia M. Fry,Malinee Chittaganpitch,Henry C. Baggett,Teresa C. T. Peret,Ryan K Dare,Pongpun Sawatwong,Somsak Thamthitiwat,Peera Areerat,Wichai Sanasuttipun,Julie Fischer,Susan A. Maloney,Dean D. Erdman,Sonja J. Olsen +12 more
TL;DR: The incidence of hospitalized RSV lower respiratory tract illness among children <5 years was high in rural Thailand and efforts to prevent RSV infection could substantially reduce the pneumonia burden in children aged<5 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Henry C. Baggett,Leonard F. Peruski,Sonja J. Olsen,Somsak Thamthitiwat,Julia Rhodes,Surang Dejsirilert,Wanna Wongjindanon,Scott F.

TL;DR: Invasive pneumococcal disease is more common than was previously suspected in Thailand, even on the basis of estimates limited to hospitalized cases of bacteremia.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of population-based pneumonia surveillance and health-seeking behavior in two provinces in rural Thailand.
Hannah T. Jordan,Prabda Prapasiri,Peera Areerat,Shuchi Anand,Birgit Clague,Saithip Sutthirattana,Shadi Chamany,Brendan Flannery,Sonja J. Olsen +8 more
TL;DR: The incidence of pneumonia in rural Thailand is high and ongoing surveillance can guide and evaluate prevention strategies, and community surveys complement pneumonia surveillance data by providing a more complete estimate of disease burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pneumococcal Bacteremia Requiring Hospitalization in Rural Thailand: An Update on Incidence, Clinical Characteristics, Serotype Distribution, and Antimicrobial Susceptibility, 2005–2010
Julia Rhodes,Surang Dejsirilert,Susan A. Maloney,Possawat Jorakate,Anek Kaewpan,Prasert Salika,Thantapat Akarachotpong,Prabda Prapasiri,Sathapana Naorat,Peera Areerat,Asadang Ruayajin,Pathom Sawanpanyalert,Pasakorn Akarasewi,Leonard F. Peruski,Henry C. Baggett +14 more
TL;DR: A high pneumococcal bacteremia burden is demonstrated, yet incidence is underestimated because it is captured only hospitalized cases, and because pre-culture antibiotics were frequently used.
