1 Invsive Pneumococcl Disese Qurterly Report July September 2017 Prepred s prt of Ministry of Helth contrct for scientific services by Rebekh Roos Helen Heffernn October 2017

2 Acknowledgements This report could not hve been produced without the continued support of stff in the public helth units nd dignostic microbiology lbortories throughout New Zelnd who provide us with dt from their regions nd refer isoltes to ESR. The uthors would lso like to thnk Julie Morgn (ESR Invsive Pthogens Lbortory) for providing serotyping dt nd Luke Scullion (ESR Helth Intelligence Tem) for dt checking. Disclimer This report or document ( the Report ) is given by the Institute of Environmentl Science nd Reserch Limited ( ESR ) solely for the benefit of the Ministry of Helth, Public Helth Service Providers nd other Third prty Beneficiries s defined in the Contrct between ESR nd the Ministry of Helth, nd is strictly subject to the conditions lid out in the contrct.

3 Introduction Since 17 October 2008, invsive pneumococcl disese (IPD) hs been notifible to the locl Medicl Officer of Helth under the Helth Act On 1 June 2008, pneumococcl conjugte vccine (PCV) ws dded to the New Zelnd childhood immunistion schedule. Initilly the 7-vlent conjugte vccine (PCV7), Prevenr, ws used. In July 2011, Prevenr ws replced on the schedule with the 10-vlent conjugte vccine (PCV10), Synflorix. In July 2014, Synflorix ws replced by the 13-vlent conjugte vccine (PCV13), Prevenr13. In July 2017, Prevenr13 ws replced by Synflorix. PCV10 includes the seven serotypes in PCV7 (4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F nd 23F) s well s serotypes 1, 5 nd 7F, nd cross-rectivity to serotype 19A. PCV13 includes the 10 serotypes in PCV10 s well s serotypes 3, 6A nd 19A. The recommended schedule is four doses, given t 6 weeks, 3 months, 5 months nd 15 months of ge. These qurterly reports re prt of n enhnced surveillnce progrmme to monitor the impct of PCV vccintion, including the chnges in vccine vlency, on the epidemiology of IPD in New Zelnd. Methods The dt presented in this report (except for immunistion sttus) is bsed on the informtion recorded on EpiSurv, the ntionl notifible disese surveillnce system, s t 20 October Any chnges mde to EpiSurv dt by public helth unit stff fter this dte will not be reflected in this report. Immunistion sttus of cses tht were eligible for PCV vccintion ws extrcted from the Ntionl Immunistion Register. Denomintor dt used to determine ll disese rtes in this report ws derived from the 2015 nd 2016 mid-yer popultion estimtes published by Sttistics New Zelnd unless otherwise specified. Rtes hve not been clculted where there re fewer thn five notified cses in ny ctegory. The Fisher s exct test ws used to determine sttisticl significnce. Results re considered sttisticlly significnt when the P vlue is Streptococcus pneumonie isoltes re serotyped t ESR by the cpsulr ntigen rection (Neufeld test) using the Dnish system of nomenclture nd ser obtined from the Sttens Serum Institut. Methods hve not been estblished t ESR to identify the strin type when only pneumococcl DNA, rther thn n isolte, is vilble. Therefore, the serotype cn only be determined for culture-positive IPD cses. Serotype dt for invsive isoltes of S. pneumonie ws mtched with the relevnt IPD cse notifiction. Cse definition A cse of invsive pneumococcl disese is defined s: the isoltion of S. pneumonie from CSF, blood or other normlly sterile site; or the detection by nucleic cid mplifiction test of pneumococcl DNA in CSF, blood or other normlly sterile site; or positive newer-genertion S. pneumonie ntigen test on CSF or pleurl fluid. 1 1 A positive S. pneumonie ntigen test on pleurl fluid ws dded to the cse definition in mid-september Invsive Pneumococcl Disese Qurterly Report, July September

4 Number of notifictions Results There were 209 IPD cses notified in the July September 2017 qurter, compred with 182 cses in the sme qurter in IPD displys distinct sesonl pttern with winter pek nd summer trough (Figure 1). The notifiction rte for the ltest 12-month period ending September 2017 (11.3 per 100,000 popultion, 530 cses) ws higher thn the rte for the previous 12-month period ending September 2016 (10.6 per 100,000, 488 cses).

During the ltest 12-month period, the highest rte ws in the 65 yers ge group (33.2 per 100,000 popultion, 232 cses). Compring the ltest 12-month period with the previous 12-month period, there were no significnt chnges in the ge-specific rtes. Tble 1.

5 The distribution of IPD cses nd rtes by region is presented in Tble 2. The highest rtes for the ltest 12-month period were in the Northern nd Midlnd regions (11.8 per 100,000 popultion, 212 cses nd 13.8 per 100,000 popultion, 124 cses, respectively). Compring the ltest 12-month period with the previous 12-month period, there were no significnt chnges in ny region or DHB. Tble 2.

A culture ws received t ESR for serotyping from 195 (93.3%) of the 209 cses notified in the July September 2017 qurter. Tble 3 shows the number of IPD cses due to ech of the serotypes included in PCV7, PCV10 nd PCV13, nd due to non- PCV13 serotypes. The number of IPD cses due to PCV13 serotypes decresed 8.2% between the lst two 12-month periods (195 to 179 cses). In contrst, the number of IPD cses due to non-pcv13 serotypes incresed 18.3% between the lst two 12-month periods (268 to 317 cses). The increse in IPD due to non-pcv13 types occurred in the <2 yers nd 5 yers ge group (Tble 3). The three most prevlent serotypes during the lst 12 months were 19A, 8 nd 22F. However between the lst two 12-month periods, totl cses of IPD due to type 19A decresed, wheres cses of the two non-pcv13 types, 8 nd 22F, incresed (Tble 3).

Immunistion sttus ws bsed on informtion recorded in the Ntionl Immunistion Register. Of the 22 cses tht were ge-eligible for PCV, two did not hve records in the NIR nd nother two were recorded s not hving received ny doses of PCV (due to prentl decline). Of the remining 18 cses, one cse ws due to serotype 14, one cse ws due to serotype 19A, 10 cses were due to non-pcv13 serotypes, nd serotype informtion ws not vilble for six cses. The serotype 14 cse ws recorded s hving 4 doses of PCV13 (lthough 3 of these were given overses) this cse is presumed vccine filure. The serotype 19A cse hd received two doses of PCV7 nd two doses of PCV10 nd is lso considered vccine filure. Ethnicity ws recorded for 194 (92.8%) of the 209 IPD cses notified in the July September 2017 qurter (Tble 5). The ge-stndrdised rtes of IPD were highest for the Pcific peoples (67.5 per 100,000 popultion, 24 cses) nd Māori (48.9 per 100,000, 50 cses) ethnic groups. The rtes for these two ethnic groups were, respectively, 5.5 nd 4.0 times higher thn the rte for the Europen or Other ethnic group (12.3 per 100,000, 112 cses) (Tble 5). In the July September 2017 qurter, 199 (95.2%) of the 209 IPD cses hd residentil ddress recorded tht could be ssigned 2013 New Zelnd Deprivtion Index (NZDep13) score (Tble 6). The most deprived res (NZDep13 quintile 5) hd the highest rte of IPD (34.6 per 100,000 popultion, 72 cses), 2.4 times the rte in the lest deprived res (14.2 per 100,000, 31 cses). Rtes of IPD by deprivtion index could only be clculted for ll ges combined becuse popultion dt by NZDep13 quintile nd ge groups ws not vilble.
