title: Lack of pneumococcal antigenuria in infants immunized with heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
abstract: The incidence and duration of pneumococcal antigenuria were determined in 21 infants who received the first dose of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. Urine specimens collected from the study participants at 1, 3, 6 and 9 days after immunization did not reveal the presence of pneumococcal antigen.
