- Abstract
The article discusses research on the use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) to lessen incidence of radiographic pneumonia. It references a study by M. S.

According to the study involving 889 young highly febrile children with leukocytosis, only 18 percent of those given PCV developed radiologic pneumonia.
