Clinical Features and Immune Memory of Breakthrough Infection in Children after Age-Appropriate 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccination in Taiwan
Abstract Purpose As certain vaccine serotypes are still circulating within the community during the PCV13 era, we aimed to delineate the clinical features and assess the immunity following breakthrough infections in children. Methods 101 children with culture confirmed PCV13 serotype breakthrough infection (25/101, invasive pneumococcal disease [IPD]) was identified in Taiwan in 2015-2019. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody levels, IgM+ memory B cells (MBCs), and isotype-switched immunoglobulin (sIg+) MBC specific to serotypes 3, 14, 19A were assessed prior to and one month after an additional PCV13 booster in 9 patients. A cohort of 89 previously vaccinated, healthy children were enrolled as controls. Results The majority (88%) of the breakthrough infection occurred in children under 7 years old. Infection by serotypes 3 and 19A increased in children aged 5–17 years in 2018-2019. The pre-booster serotype 3- and 19A-specific IgG in both children with breakthrough infection and controls were lower than the IPD protective thresholds. Breakthrough infected children showed higher geometric mean ratio in serotype-specific IgG, IgM+ MBCs and sIg+ MBC after an additional PCV13 booster, compared to the controls. Conclusions Most of breakthrough infections occurred in previously healthy preschool-aged children, but such infection still may occur in school-age children due to waning immunity. Breakthrough infection still may occur in school-age children due to waning immunity. Breakthrough infection enhanced the anamnestic response elicited by PCV13..
