“…Two hospital-based retrospective studies from India were included in this review [20], [27]. The pooled data showed that S. pneumoniae was present in 28.36% (95% CI 22.74–79.46) of isolates from the total number of admitted patients with invasive bacterial diseases.…”

ObjectiveThe primary objective was to estimate the burden of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in children aged 1 month to 12 years in South Asian countries.MethodsWe searched three electronic databases (PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library) using a comprehensive search strategy, we manually searched published databases (Index Medicus and Current Contents) and we also searched the bibliographies of the included studies and retrieved reviews. The searches were current through June 2013. Eligible studies (community-based and hospital-based) were pooled and a separate analysis for India was also completed. A meta-regression analysis and heterogeneity analysis were performed. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO registration number CRD42013004483.ResultsA total of 22 studies surveying 36,714 children were included in the systematic review. Hospital-based prospective studies from South Asia showed that 3.57% of children had IPD, and 15% of all bacterial pneumonia cases were due to Streptococcus pneumoniae. Indian studies showed that the incidence of IPD was 10.58% in children admitted to hospitals with suspected invasive bacterial diseases, and 24% of all bacterial pneumonia cases were due to S. pneumonia. Population-based studies from South Asian countries showed that 12.8% of confirmed invasive bacterial diseases were caused by S. pneumonia whereas retrospective hospital-based studies showed that 28% of invasive bacterial diseases were due to S. pneumoniae. Meta-regression showed that there was a significant influence of the antigen testing method for diagnosing IPD on IPD prevalence.Conclusion S. pneumoniae is responsible for a substantial bacterial disease burden in children of South Asian countries including India despite the presence of high heterogeneity in this meta-analysis. Treatment guidelines must be formulated, and preventive measures like vaccines must also be considered.

ÖZ Amaç: Pürülan menenjit olgularının büyük kısmından Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae ve Neisseria meningitidis sorumludur. Bu çalışmada, hastanemizde izole edilen yenidoğan dışı bakteriyel menenjit etkeni olan bu bakterilerin tanımlanması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve ABSTRACT Investigation of Bacterial Meningitis Agents from Patients with Suspicion of Non-Neonatal Meningitis by Conventional and Molecular Methods Objective: In the most of purulent meningitis cases Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis are responsible. In this study we aimed to identify our these nonneonatal bacterial meningitis agents isolated in our hospital. Material and Methods: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens of 137 suspected cases of non-neonatal meningitis from various clinics of Mersin University Health Research and

“…It has been reported that neonatal meningitis can occur in the absence of bacteraemia and no single cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) value can exclude its presence3. Several studies from India have reported the spectrum of bacterial pathogens and the existence of antibiotic resistance among the isolates from neonatal sepsis/meningitis cases4567. We have earlier isolated rarely encountered bacteria including Neisseria meningitidis serogroup Y8, Sneathia 9 and Globicatella (unpublished) species from CSF of neonates from north-east India.…”
