OBJECTIVE: To estimate the incidence of @entity3 and @entity55 , distribution of pneumococcal serotypes, and antibiotic susceptibility in @entity1 aged 28 days to <60 months. DESIGN: Hospital-based surveillance. SETTING: South Bangalore, India. @entity1 : 9950 @entity1 aged 28 days to <60 months with clinical suspicion of @entity3 or @entity55 . RESULTS: The estimated at-risk population included 224,966 @entity1 <5 years of age. Forty cases of @entity3 were identified. Estimated @entity3 incidence was 17.8/100,000 with incidence being highest among @entity1 aged 6 months to <12 months (49.9/100,000). @entity922 was the most frequent diagnosis (12.5/100,000). Pneumococcal serotypes included: 6A (n=6, 16.7%); 14 (n=5, 13.9%); 5 (n=4, 11.1%); 6B (n=4, 11.1%); 1, 18C, and @entity5686 (n=3 each, 8.3%); 9V (n=2, 5.6%); and 3, 4, 10C, 18A, 18F, and 19F (n=1 each, 2.8%). Serotypes 6A, 14, 6B, 1, 18C, @entity5686 , 9V, 4, 10C, and 18A showed antibiotic resistance. Clinical @entity55 incidence was 2109/100,000, with incidence being highest among @entity1 aged 28 days to <6 months (5033/100,000). Chest radiograph-confirmed @entity55 incidence was 1114/100,000, with incidence being highest among @entity1 aged 28 days to <6 months (2413/100,000). CONCLUSIONS: Invasive @entity66 and @entity55 were found to be common causes of morbidity in young @entity1 living in South Bangalore, India.
