title: [Pneumococci isolated from vaccinated children with pneumonia].
abstract: Among 76 children fully vaccinated with 7-valent conjugate vaccine and subsequently hospitalized from 2006 to 2009 for community-acquired pneumonia, isolated or with empyema or pleuritis, 10 had confirmed pneumococcal infections. All pneumococci isolated with blood or pleural culture were non vaccine serotypes (1, 5, 7F, and 19A). The proportion of pneumococcal pneumonias was similar to that in two series from the same hospital before the vaccine era. These data show that the 13-valent conjugate vaccine could be useful in prevention of community-acquired pneumonia and that bacteriologic survey of community-acquired pneumonia remains necessary.
