Description
Summary:Highlights ► Prospective surveillance of pneumonia and IPD enhances disease burden estimates. ► Prospective data on incidence of IPD and pneumonia in Latin America are limited. ► Incidence of IPD and pneumonia in children was high in Costa Rica. ► Data represent only pediatric IPD active surveillance study from Central America. ► Surveillance is critical to assess impact of PCV vaccination.
