Pneumococcal serogroups and serotypes in severe pneumococcal pneumonia in Belgian children: theoretical coverage of the 7-valent and 9-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines.

abstract：:We report on a 7-month old infant with severe respiratory distress secondary to a paratracheal bronchogenic cyst. Respiratory relief was achieved by transtracheal puncture of the cyst. Surgical removal of the cyst was performed 1 week later because of radiological evidence of reaccumulation of fluid. ...
