title: [Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes in children with chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory organs].
abstract: During the 7-year period of observation (1982-1988) the serotypes of 276 pneumococcal strains isolated from children with chronic bronchopulmonary diseases were studied. Among the serotypes of pneumococci under study, serotypes 6, 19 and 15 held the leading place and included a half of all typed pneumococci. Dynamic observation on the serotype composition of pneumococci revealed periodic fluctuations in the occurrence of some types/groups. The regional analysis of different serotypes of pneumococci showed the common occurrence of serogroups 6 and 19, as well as some regional features in the circulation of serotypes 6, 10, 3 and rarely occurring serotypes. The study revealed that any new exacerbation of the chronic bronchopulmonary process is caused by pneumococci of some other serotype. Pneumococcal strains, resistant (3.4%) and sensitive (1.8%) to penicillin, were detected; most of them belonged to serogroup 19.
