ABSTRACT
In order to characterize pneumococcal endovascular infection in the post-vaccination era, a retrospective nationwide study based on the Israeli Adult IPD database was conducted. Between 2010 and 2019, 0.6% (23 cases) of IPD cases were of endovascular type, occurring mainly in males (72.3%) with underlying medical conditions (78.2%). Additional pneumococcal source (10 patients) and concomitant infections were not uncommon. Penicillin and ceftriaxone susceptibility rates were 65.2% and 91.3%, respectively; 60.9% of the isolates were not covered by the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. 21.7% of patients died during hospitalization. In conclusion, pneumococcal endovascular infections still carry significant morbidity and mortality.
