简介
Background
The burden of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) among adults in Europe is poorly defined.
Methods
Structured searches of PubMed were conducted to identify the incidence of pneumococcal CAP among adults across Europe.
Results
The overall incidence rates for CAP was 68–7000 per 100,000 and the incidence in hospitalised CAP cases of all causes was 16–3581 per 100,000. In general the incidence of CAP increased consistently with age. Available data indicated higher burdens of pneumococcal CAP caused in groups with more comorbidities. Most cases of pneumococcal CAP (30%–78%) were caused by serotypes covered by PCV13 vaccine; the incidence of PCV13-related pneumonia decreased after the introduction of childhood vaccination.
Conclusions
We observed a high burden adult pneumococcal CAP in Europe despite use …
