Are younger COPD patients adequately vaccinated for influenza and pneumococcus?
(2022)Influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia are major causes of increased morbidity and mortality among elderly and COPD patients. Vaccines against influenza and pneumococcus are recommended for COPD patients according to GOLD ... -
Bacteriology, antibiotic resistance and risk stratification of patients with culture-positive, community-acquired pleural infection
(2021)Background: Community-acquired pleural infection (CAPI) is a growing health problem worldwide. Although most CAPI patients recover with antibiotics and pleural drainage, 20% require surgical intervention. The use of ... -
A chronic alcoholic man with high fever, neck rigidity and loss of consciousness: Remember the Austrian syndrome a commonly unrecognised invasive pneumococcus triad
(2018)Austrian syndrome is a rare medical condition characterised by the triad of pneumonia, meningitis and endocarditis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae. Native aortic valve insufficiency is the most common cause of cardiac ... -
Dynamics of pneumococcal carriage among day-care center attendees during the transition from the 7-valent to the higher-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in Greece
(2014)Background: In Greece recently, higher-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) replaced the 7-valent (PCV7); the 10-valent (PCV10) became available in May 2009 and the 13-valent (PCV13) in June 2010. Methods: We ... -
Dynamics of Streptococcus pneumoniae nasopharyngeal carriage with high heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine coverage in Central Greece
(2011)In order to study whether the use of the heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) led to a shift in the Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes distribution and whether it modified the resistance to antibiotics, 2649 ... -
Early bacterial identification among intubated patients with COVID-19 or influenza pneumonia: A european multicenter comparative clinical trial
(2021)Rationale: Early empirical antimicrobial treatment is frequently prescribed to critically ill patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) based on Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines. Objectives: We aimed to determine ... -

Molecular surveillance of pneumococcal carriage following completion of immunization with the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine administered in a 3 + 1 schedule
(2021)In a cross-sectional study, with the use of molecular methods, we aimed to gain insight into oropharyngeal pneumococcal colonization over time in 1212 Greek children recruited in general pediatric settings throughout the ... -
Overlapping host pathways between SARS-CoV-2 and its potential copathogens: An in silico analysis
(2020)Background: SARS-CoV-2 coinfection with other viral and bacterial pathogens and their interactions are increasingly recognized in the literature as potential determinants of COVID-19 phenotypes. The aim of this study was ... -
Pneumococcal meningitis in Greece: A retrospective serotype surveillance study in the post-PCV13 era (2010–2020)
(2022)Background: As Greece is a country which has introduced the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) both in the infant and in the adult immunization programs, the aim of the study was to investigate age-specific ... -
Pneumococcal serotype identification by capsular sequence typing (Cst): A modified novel approach for serotyping directly in clinical samples
(2021)As almost 60–70% of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease (IPD) is identified by nonculture methods in Greece, serotyping is of high importance for the better monitoring of pneumococcal serotypes due to the availability of conjugate ... -
Pneumococcal Vaccination in Europe: Schedule Adherence
(2014)Nonadherence to recommended pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) schedules may have implications for protection against pneumococcal disease. In this commentary, we have assessed adherence to the recommended dosing schedules ... -
Pneumonia with empyema among children in the first five years of high coverage with 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
(2016)Abstract: Background: Parapneumonic effusions in children are usually associated with pneumococcal infections. In Greece, the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine was replaced by higher-valent pneumococcal conjugate ...
