Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Most children are transiently colonized with Streptococcus pneumoniae, but very few develop invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). Host genetic variation of innate immunity may predispose to IPD. We investigated the effect of genetic variation in the mannose-binding lectin gene, MBL2, on susceptibility and disease severity of IPD in previously healthy children aged <5 years. METHODS: IPD cases were...
