PIP: Findings are presented from a study conducted to determine the impact of HIV infection upon Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteremia in adults and children by analyzing the prevalence and clinical features of such diseases and determining the prevalent serotypes/serogroups and susceptibility patterns of isolates. 178 patients with S. pneumoniae identified prospectively through blood culture during January-October 1996 at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Soweto, were studied. 49 patients were under 13 years old. 25 (51%) children and 58 (45%) adults were found to be infected with HIV. The incidence of S. pneumoniae bacteremia was 36.9 times higher in HIV-seropositive children and 8.2 times higher in HIV-seropositive adults compared to HIV-seronegative individuals. The HIV-seropositive patients with S. pneumoniae bacteremia were significantly younger than HIV-seronegative patients. Pneumonia was a significantly more common presentation in HIV-seropositive children; otherwise, the spectrum of disease and outcome were similar in HIV-seronegative and seropositive groups. There is extremely good potential for vaccine coverage for both HIV-negative and HIV-positive individuals.
