Otitis Media Pathogens Skewed by 7-Valent Pneumococcal Vaccine

By

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Dec 22 - Certain strains of bacteria are more

prevalent in children with acute otitis media who have been inoculated with

the pneumococcal 7-valent protein conjugate (PNC7) vaccine, researchers

report, with strains not included in the vaccine being favored.

As lead investigator Dr. M. McEllistrem told Reuters Health, " the

proportion of cases of pneumococcal acute otitis media due to non-vaccine

serogroup strains rapidly increased from 1999 to 2001 in children who

received at least two doses of PNC7 vaccine. "

Before licensure of this vaccine, about 85% of middle-ear isolates from

children with the disease were of vaccine serotypes or cross-reacting

serotypes

However, Dr. McEllistrem of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine

and colleagues found that from 1999 to 2001, the proportion of non-vaccine

serogroups increased from 14.8% to 36.5%.

Furthermore, they report in the December 1st issue of the Journal of

Infectious Diseases, among children who received at least two doses of PNC7

vaccine, 46.7% of the isolates had non-vaccine serotypes compared with

20.8% in children who did not receive the vaccine.

Although this phenomenon is occurring among children who have acute otitis

media due to Streptococcus pneumoniae, " significant serotype replacement

has not been detected among children with pneumococcal invasive disease

since introduction of the PNC7 vaccine, " Dr. McEllistrem pointed out.

" These data, " she concluded, " underscore the importance of the monitoring

the epidemiology of pneumococcal infections in the PNC7 vaccine era. "

I'm sorry...I am having a serious brain-dead day. Can someone explain

this study to me? What does it mean? I just had a conversation with

somebody about how hardly anybody had ear infections when we were kids,

it was all sore throats, and now everybody has them. Does this study

relate at all?

Hi , in a very short explanation...since they started using

Prevnar, (which by the way they claim is only 7% effective against

AOM) they decreased the number of AOM's with the strains used in the

vaccine, but other strains increased from 14.8 to 36.5%, which is

quite significant in a two year period. This isn't just happening

with Prevnar. There also has been reports of children getting

meningitis, even though they had the Hib vaccine. Again a different

strain. It is pretty scary considering they say with some vaccines

like DTaP, you can still get Pertussis, but it will be more mild. I

tend to think they are creating super strains because of the years of

vaccination. You cannot fool mother nature.
