BACKGROUND: Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most frequent causative pathogen of bacterial pneumonia in children worldwide. Bangladesh introduced the 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) in their national immunization program for infants in 2015. We assessed its potential coverage in under-fives with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the years before PCV10 was introduced.
METHODS: A total of 1502 childhood pneumonia cases (< 5 year olds living in the urban section Kamalapur, Dhaka) were enrolled between 2011 and 2013. Acute phase and late (convalescent) serum samples were collected from 1380 cases. Serotype-specific pneumococcal antibody concentrations were measured using a 25-plex immunoassay panel. Pneumococcal CAP was diagnosed based on a serotype-specific pneumococcal antibody response.
RESULTS: S. pneumoniae was serologically identified as causative pathogen in 406/1380 (29%) cases. The five most prevalent serotypes were (in descending order) 11A, 22F, 3, 2 and 19F. Based on the percentage of pneumonia cases associated with PCV10 vaccine types, the potential PCV10 coverage was 29% (116/406).
CONCLUSIONS: In almost a third of the studied cases S. pneumoniae was identified as a causative pathogen. Because of the characteristics of the immunoassay, this might well be a gross underestimation. Nevertheless, the potential PCV10-coverage was low. Given the high serotype diversity, the region might benefit greatly from a higher-coverage PCV or recombinant protein vaccine.
