| Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)—the pathogens responsible for most child deaths from bacterial pneumonia and meningitis—are directly responsible for just as many child deaths as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. This finding is shocking because vaccines against both pathogens are readily available and have been consistently safe and effective in trials in developing countries. |
This Editorial by Radan and Campbell refers to two articles in the Lancet issue looking at these common childhood pathogens in the under 5's.
