Levy C, et al. – In this assessment, the physicians explored the impact of 13–valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) on community–acquired pneumonia (CAP) by C–reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin levels (PCT) in children.

A sustained reduction in CAP cases was reported, after five years of PCV13 implementation.
