Abstract

We report the case of a 2-month-old boy who was hospitalized due to fever after a single administration of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and subsequently diagnosed with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). Blood culture identified Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 10A, a non-PCV13 serotype. Despite a significant decline in the number of children with IPD after the introduction of PCV13, the rate of IPD due to non-PCV13 serotypes has increased. Pneumococcal vaccination cannot completely prevent IPD, and IPD due to non-vaccine serotypes should be considered in children with fever.
