Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines
by Ger T Rijkers
Description
Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is a pathogen with significant disease implications, especially for the (very) young and the (very) old. It causes mucosal infections such as otitis media and pneumonia but also causes invasive diseases such as bacteremia and meningitis. In this book of seven chapters, international experts address the major challenges facing the current use and future development of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines – both from the scientific and the political standpoint. As such, the book comprises a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of this rapidly evolving field.
