- Abstract
The article discusses high risks of pneumococcal meningitis and its emergence as a serious disease in infants and young children. It mentions that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has recommended the use of PCV13 (13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) for routine use in children. It also highlights use of diagnosis codes like pneumococcal septicemia and pyogenic arthritis to identify children with a diagnosis of IPD not including meningitis.
