Clinical importance.
Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) causes about 500,000 hospitalizations in those older than 65 yearly in the US and is the 5th leading cause of death in people over 65. Strep. Pneumo. is the most common cause of CAP. The first vaccine in 1911 failed due to difficulties purifying and making the vaccine. By 1940, 80 serotypes were identified and today, 90 serotypes are known. The 23 serotypes chosen for the Pneumovax are the 23 that most commonly cause disease. Pneumovax is made of purified pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide.
