pneumococcal conjugate vaccine has not shown
benefit in this population. Despite its relevance, robust
evidence on pneumococcal disease in organ transplant
recipients is lacking. New strategies for improving the
protection of SOT recipients are warranted. |

| Core Tip |
Streptococcus pneumoniae causes substantial
morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant (SOT)
recipients, ranging from non-invasive to invasive
diseases, with a 12-fold risk of invasive pneumococcal
disease higher than in non-immunocompromised
patients. Pneumococcal vaccination is recommended
for all SOT recipients with 23-valent pneumococcal
polysaccharides vaccine. Although immunological rate
response is appropriate, it is lower than in the rest of
the population, decreases with time, and its clinical efficacy is variable. Booster strategy with 7-valent
pneumococcal conjugate vaccine has not shown
benefit in this population. Despite its relevance, robust
evidence on pneumococcal disease in organ transplant
recipients is lacking. New strategies for improving the
protection of SOT recipients are warranted. |
