Pneumococcal Meningitis Among Children in the Post-13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Era: Three Case Reports

Abstract

We report three cases under two years of age, of meningitis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae in vaccinated children. Two grew non-typable strain and the third serotype 10A. All improved with no neurological sequel. Continued monitoring of the epidemiology of bacterial meningitis within the post13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine introduction is warranted.
