- Abstract
The article evaluates the risk factors for increased disease severity and mortality in adults with invasive pneumococcal disease, including patient related variables and bacterial serotypes. The study authors analyzed data collected from a prospective, international, large-scale study of adult patients with pneumococcal bacteremia. They found that there was no association between the predefined groups of pneumococcal serotypes and invasive pneumococcal disease-related to mortality.
