Abstract
In order to determine if the novel influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 was associated with temporal trends of main serotypes causing invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), we studied 384 episodes of IPD in <18 y-old patients from 2007 to 2012. The number of IPD episodes diagnosed during the 2009 pandemic quarter supposed almost one-third of all the episodes diagnosed along the five included influenza periods (51/156). Most of them occurred in <5 y-old children. Serotype 1 was the main serotype detected over the period, except for the 2009 pandemic, when it practically disappeared. Seasonality and viral infections could trigger temporal trends of serotypes causing IPD. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
