Abstract
During the period 1965 to 1978, 62 cases of severe pneumococcal infection were admitted in Saint-Vincent de Paul pediatric intensive care unit. Recovery without sequelae was observed in only 17 of 49 meningitis. 5 fulminant pneumococcal infections after splenectomy or other disorders were observed. This late condition may be preventable by vaccination.
