About Pneumococcal
IPD is caused by bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae – also known as pneumococcus. These bacteria can often live harmlessly in the nose and throat causing no symptoms.
Most pneumococcal infections are not invasive and include ear and sinus infections.
But when pneumococcal bacteria enter parts of the body where bacteria are not usually found – such as in the blood, brain and spinal cord or lungs – the infection becomes invasive and symptoms are often severe or life-threatening.
