TL;DR: The Gambian PCV programme reduced the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease in children aged 2–59 months by around 55% and further surveillance is needed to ascertain the maximum effect of the vaccine in the 2–4 years and older age groups, and to monitor serotype replacement.

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

TL;DR: In this article, molecular analyses of lung aspirates from Gambian children with severe pneumonia detected pathogens more frequently than did culture and showed a predominance of bacteria, principally Streptococcus pneumoniae, >75% being of serotypes covered by current pneumococcal conjugate vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Lipocalin 2 distinguishes severe and bacterial pneumonia from nonsevere and nonbacterial pneumonia with a high level of precision and requires large-scale clinical evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly accurate diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis by immunological analysis of the pleural effusion.

TL;DR: Data suggest that analysis of the site of infection provides superior diagnostic accuracy compared to peripheral blood for pleural TB, likely due to the sequestration of effector cells at this acute stage of disease.
