    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Bacteriology
    • Epidemiology

    Context:

    • Pneumococcal septicemia presents a significant public health challenge.
    • A retrospective analysis of 145 cases over six years at Tourcoing Hospital was conducted.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the incidence, mortality, and prognostic factors of pneumococcal septicemia.
    • To identify patient groups at higher risk for adverse outcomes.

    Summary:

    • Pneumococcal septicemia accounted for 0.39% of hospitalizations and 19.8% of all septicemias.
    • The overall mortality rate was 38.6%.
    • Higher mortality was observed in women (46.5%), patients admitted for unrelated reasons (50.8%), and those with septic shock (81.5%).

    Impact:
