New page

* Failure to respond to an unconjugated polysaccharide vaccine despite otherwise normal immune evaluation
* Characterized by recurrent community-acquired pneumonia
* Investigated by giving pneumococcal 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine and measuring titres 4 to 6 weeks later
** Serotype specific titres should be ≥1.3 μg/mL or 2-fold increase; if not, it suggests specific antibody deficiency
* Management is immunization with the conjugated 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine
