Abstract
- The recent introduction of the seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine has led to changes in the proportion of disease caused by different serotypes. The serotypes targeted by the vaccine have been reduced, and Streptococcus pneumonia serotype 19A is now the most commonly isolated serotype causing invasive pneumococcal disease. This serotype has been associated with antibiotic resistance. The authors of this article conducted a review of cases of invasive pneumococcal disease diagnosed between 2000 and 2010 in Calgary, Alberta, to examine the disease course of serotype 19A invasive pneumococcal disease compared with other serotypes.Streptoccocus pneumoniae serotype 19A (ST19A) became an important cause of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) after the introduction of the conjugate vaccine.To examine the severity and outcome of ST19A IPD compared with non-ST19A IPD.The Calgary Area Streptococcus pneumoniae Epidemiology Research (CASPER) study collects clinical and laboratory data on all IPD cases in Calgary, Alberta. Analysis was performed on data from 2000 to 2010 comparing ST19A and non-ST19A IPD cases. Adjusted linear and logistic regression models were used to examine outcomes of duration of appropriate intravenous antibiotic therapy and intensive care unit admission, respectively.ST19A tended to cause disease in younger patients. ST19A isolates were more often multidrug resistant (19% versus 0.3%; P0.001). Adjusted logistic regression showed no difference in intensive care unit admission between ST19A and non-ST19A IPD cases (OR 1.4 [95% CI 0.8 to 2.7]). An adjusted linear regression model showed patients18 years of age with a diagnosis of bacteremia and no risk factors infected with ST19A were, on average, treated with antibiotics 1.4 times (95% CI 1.1 to 1.9) as long as patients with non-19A IPD and the same baseline characteristics.ST19A IPD was associated with an increase in average time on antibiotics. Although many of the infecting strains of ST19A were within the threshold for susceptibility, they may be sufficiently resilient to require a longer duration of antibiotic therapy or higher dose to clear the infection.ST19A is more common in younger individuals, is more antibiotic resistant and may require longer average treatment duration.LeExaminer la gravité et les issues de la PI ST19A par rapport aux PI non ST19A.L’étude CASPER de recherche épidémiologique sur leLe ST19A avait tendance à susciter la maladie chez des patients plus jeunes. Les isolats de ST19A étaient plus souvent multi-résistants (19 % par rapport à 0,3 %; P0,001). La régression logistique ajustée ne démontrait aucune différence dans les hospitalisations aux soins intensifs des cas de PI ST19A et des cas de PI non ST19A (RC 1,4 [95 % IC 0,8 à 2,7]). Un modèle de régression linéaire ajusté a révélé que les patients de moins de 18 ans chez qui on avait diagnostiqué une bactériémie, mais qui n’avaient pas de facteurs de risque et qui étaient infectés par le ST19A, étaient traités en moyenne 1,4 fois plus longtemps (95 % IC 1,1 à 1,9) que ceux qui étaient atteints d’une PI non ST19A et qui présentaient les mêmes caractéristiques de départ.La PI ST19A s’associait à une période moyenne d’antibiothérapie plus longue. Même si bon nombre de souches infectieuses du ST19A se situaient dans le seuil de susceptibilité, elles sont peut-être assez résilientes pour qu’une antibiothérapie plus longue ou à plus forte dose puisse éliminer l’infection.Le ST19A est plus courant chez les plus jeunes, résiste davantage aux antibiotiques et a peut-être besoin d’être traité pendant une période moyenne plus longue.
