183. Decrease in Invasive Pneumococcal Disease in 7 United States Children’s Hospitals during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract Background During the 2020 SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, physical distancing and mask use guidelines were implemented resulting in a decline in the number of infections caused by influenza, respiratory syncytial virus and otitis media. A surveillance analysis from England and Taiwan showed a decline in invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) (Clin Infect Dis. 2021;72: e65-75 and J Infect. 2021;82:296-297). We hypothesized that COVID mitigation efforts resulted in a decrease in incidence of pediatric IPD within the U.S. during 2020 compared to previous years. Methods We reviewed all cases of IPD among 7 children’s hospitals from the U.S. Pediatric Multicenter Pneumococcal Surveillance Group from 2017-2020. IPD was defined by the isolation of Streptococcus pneumoniae from normally sterile sites (eg. blood, cerebrospinal, pleural, synovial or peritoneal fluid). Pneumococcal pneumonia was defined as an abnormal chest radiograph in the presence of a positive blood, pleural fluid or lung culture. Mastoiditis was identified by positive middle ear, subperiosteal abscess or mastoid bone culture. Serotypes were determined by the capsular swelling method. Hospital admission numbers were obtained for incidence calculations. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA11. A p< 0.05 was considered significant. Results A total of 410 IPD cases were identified. The cumulative incidence of IPD (0-22 years of age) decreased from 99.2/100,000 admissions in 2017-2019 to 53.8/100,000 admissions in 2020 (risk ratio 0.54, CI: 0.40-0.72, p< 0.00001). Pneumococcal bacteremia and pneumonia decreased significantly in 2020 (p< 0.05), and although not statistically significant, there were fewer cases of meningitis and mastoiditis when compared to previous years (p=0.08) (Figure 1). Sex, race, age or presence of comorbidities were not significantly different between groups. Most common serotypes in 2020 were 35B, 3 and 15B/C (Figure 2). Conclusion The observed decline in IPD cases during the first year of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is likely associated with mask use and physical distancing limiting transmission of S. pneumoniae via droplets and viral infections frequently preceding IPD. These precautions might be useful in the future to decrease IPD, especially in high-risk patients. Disclosures Sheldon L. Kaplan, MD, Pfizer (Research Grant or Support) Tina Q.

Abstract Background The 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) was licensed in 2010 and is directed against serotypes (ST) 1,3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F. Details of cases of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) due to PCV13 ST since 2010 in the US are sparse. We describe IPD cases due to PCV13 ST seen at 8 US children’s hospitals over years 2014 to 2016 which may aid in understanding why some IPD cases due to these ST have persisted. Methods Children with IPD have been prospectively identified at 8 children’s hospitals in the US since 1993. Data from 2014 through 2016 were analyzed. Demographic, clinical data and number and dates of PCV doses were collected on case report forms and isolates were sent to a central laboratory for serotyping. PCV doses are counted if IPD occurred > 2 weeks after a dose. Results PCV13 ST accounted for 19.7% (27/137), 26.8% (30/112) and 26% (33/127) of IPD cases in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. ST 3, 19A and 19F accounted for 90% of the PCV13 ST IPD cases. >50% of the children had received ≤2 doses of PCV13 prior to IPD. (Table) Of the 30 children with 0 doses of PCV, 15 were of an age at diagnosis for which ≥ 2 doses of PCV was recommended. An underlying condition was noted in 18. For PCV13 ST, the types of IPD were pneumonia (n = 39), mastoiditis (n = 15), bacteremia (n = 15), meningitis (n = 12) and other sites of infection (n = 9). Whereas the numbers of yearly cases were similar for ST3 (12, 10, 13) and ST19A (8, 10, 6), the numbers for 19F increased slightly (3, 8, 10). Conclusion Four to 6 years after PCV13 was introduced, PCV13 ST (especially ST 3, 19A and 19F) accounted for about 25% of IPD in children. For all of the PCV13 ST, over half of these IPD cases occurred in children who had received ≤ 2 doses of the recommended PCV schedule; 25% of cases occurred in children who had not received any doses but were of the age at diagnosis that at least 2 PCV doses should have been received. Additional PCV13 ST IPD cases may be preventable if the PCV13 schedule is followed as recommended. Disclosures S. L.

Abstract Background Numerous factors that affect the presentation and severity of pneumococcal disease. Several studies in the pre-PCV era demonstrated that organism characteristics, including serotype, are associated with variability in disease presentation and severity. We undertook an analysis of population based surveillance for invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) to assess whether herd immunity from PCVs will change the presentation and severity of IPD in adults Methods TIBDN has performed population-based surveillance for IPD in Toronto and Peel region (pop’n 4.5M) since 1995. All sterile site isolates of S. pneumoniae are reported to a central study laboratory, isolates are serotyped, and clinical and vaccination data are collected via patient and physician interview and chart review. Population data are obtained from Statistics Canada. Backwards stepwise logistic regression assessed patient characteristics, illness features, and isolate factors associated with clinical presentation and case fatality. Results Between 1995 and 2018, 8815 episodes of IPD were identified in adults. Patients infected with PCV10not7 serotypes were younger, more likely male and without underlying illness. Patients with infections due to non-vaccine types were more likely to be immunocompromised. Case fatality in IPD declined from 177/754 in 1995/6 to 113/554 in 2017/8; OR 0.67, 95%CI0.51-0.86, P< .0001) and in all serotype groups (Figure). In multivariable models adjusted for host factors, relative to infections caused PCV7 serotypes, those caused by PCV10not7 were less likely to be fatal (OR 0.65, 95%CI 0.46–0.91); those caused by PCV13not10 were more likely to be fatal (OR 1.6, 95%CI 1.3–1.9). Bacteremic pneumonia as a proportion of presentations is highest in IPD due to PCV10not7 and PCV13not10 serotypes (85% and 83%, respectively), and lowest in IPD due to non-vaccine serotypes and PCV20not15 (59% and 68%, P< .0001). Meningitis is least common in IPD due to PCV10not7 serotypes (2.6%), and highest in cases due to non-vaccine types and PCV20not15 (9.0% and 8.0%, respectively, P< .0001). FIgure Conclusion In our population, herd immunity from PCVs will result in a higher proportion of adult IPD occurring in immunocompromised cases, and a shift from bacteremic pneumonia to bacteremia without focus and meningitis.

Abstract Background Pneumococcal vaccine recommendations in Canada include both age- and risk-based guidance. This study aimed to describe the burden of vaccine-preventable pneumococcal community acquired pneumonia (pCAP) and invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) by age in hospitalized adults. Methods Active surveillance for all-cause CAP and IPD in hospitalized adults was performed from 2010 to 2017, including laboratory results, patient demographics, and outcomes. Streptococcus pneumoniae was detected using blood and sputum culture, or urine antigen detection (UAD). Serotype was assigned using Quellung reaction, PCR, or serotype-specific UADs spanning the 24 serotypes in PCV13 and PPV23 vaccines. Data were categorized by age (16-49, 50-64, 65+, and 50+ years) and over time. Results 11129 ACP cases and 216 cases of IPD (non-CAP) were identified. A laboratory test for S. pneumoniae was performed in 8912 of ACP cases, identifying 1264 (14.2%) as pCAP. Compared to non-pCAP, pCAP cases were more likely to be admitted to intensive care units and require mechanical ventilation. These serious outcomes, as well as mortality, were more prominent in bacteremic pCAP and IPD. Risk factors for death in pCAP included aged 75+ years, immune compromising conditions, and BMI < 18.5. When categorized by age, the proportion of individuals aged 65+ years for pCAP and IPD was 49.8% and 48.6%, and the 50-64 year age cohort represented 31.3% and 29.9%, respectively. The contributions of PCV13 and PPV23 serotypes remained relatively stable over time, and overall represented 57.6% and 90.9% for pCAP, and 35.0% and 72.0% for IPD, respectively. Conclusion Seven years following infant PCV13 immunization programs in Canada, PCV13 and PPV23 serotypes in pCAP and IPD remained predominant causes of pneumococcal disease. Serious outcomes were particularly evident in adults 50+, suggesting pneumococcal vaccines should be encouraged in this age group. Disclosures Jason J.

Abstract Background Epidemiological studies that assess invasive Group B Streptococcus (GBS) infections may not capture cases of osteomyelitis diagnosed using non-invasive cultures in combination with imaging, laboratory tests, and clinical assessment. Here, we compare GBS osteomyelitis among individuals diagnosed using invasive and non-invasive cultures. Methods Using the Veterans Health Administration corporate data warehouse, we studied a national retrospective cohort review of Veterans diagnosed with GBS osteomyelitis between 2008 – 2017. Invasive cases were defined as an International Classification of Disease (ICD) code for osteomyelitis accompanied by a blood or bone culture positive for GBS within 2 weeks. Non-invasive cases were defined as an ICD code for osteomyelitis and a non-invasive culture positive for GBS from a concordant site within 2 weeks. We compared demographics, comorbid conditions, mortality, and time to below- or above-knee amputation among patients with invasive and non-invasive GBS osteomyelitis. Results We identified 1167 cases of invasive osteomyelitis among 1077 patients and 692 cases of non-invasive osteomyelitis among 644 patients. Most patients were male (98%) with an average age of 63.2 years (± standard deviation (SD) 10.1 years). The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was similar among patients with invasive and non-invasive disease (3.85 ± SD 2.3 and 3.83 ± SD2.4, respectively). Among those with lower extremity osteomyelitis, 11% of invasive cases had an amputation at 30 days while 2% of non-invasive cases had an amputation in the same time frame (Figure 1). Mortality was similar among those with invasive and non-invasive GBS osteomyelitis at 30-days (1% and 1%, respectively) and at 1-year (11% and 9%, respectively) (Figure 2). Figure 1: Time to Amputation Figure 2: Survival Conclusion Over 1/3 of the cases of osteomyelitis caused by GBS do not meet the case definition for invasive disease. Whether diagnosed using invasive or non-invasive microbiological cultures, survival outcomes for people with GBS osteomyelitis were similar. These findings suggest that non-invasive GBS osteomyelitis is as clinically important as invasive GBS osteomyelitis and that the rates of GBS osteomyelitis may be higher than previously reported.

Abstract Background The epidemiology of CMV end-organ disease (EOD) after Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT) in the era of preemptive therapy (PET) is defined. In contrast, less data exists on refractory and/or resistant (R/R) CMV. We report on 1) the incidence; 2) risk factors and outcomes of R/R CMV by 1-year post HCT. Methods Retrospective review of 167 CMV seropositive (R+) recipients of first marrow or peripheral blood HCT from 1/2014 - 12/2017 managed by PET. Refractory CMV was defined as failure to achieve >1 log10 decrease in CMV viral load (VL) and having VL >1,000 IU/mL after ≥14 day of PET. Resistant CMV required genotypic confirmation of resistance mutation(s) in UL54 and/or UL97 genes. End organ disease (EOD) was defined by standard criteria. Patients (pts) were followed through 1-year post HCT and were categorized in two mutually exclusive groups as R/R and no R/R. Demographics, clinical characteristics and outcomes were extracted from medical records and hospital databases. Univariable and multivariable logistic models were used to identify risk factors for R/R CMV. Results Of 167 PET recipients, 91 (54.5%) received ex vivo T cell depleted (TCD) HCT; 40 (24.0%) had mismatched donor; and 26 (15.6%) had multiple myeloma. 66/167 (39.5%) pts developed refractory CMV (6 pts also had resistant CMV). Time from HCT to CMV viremia was shorter in R/R group: median (IQR) 21.5 (17.2-27.8) days compared to no R/R group: 26 (19-32) days (p=0.031). Maximum VL was higher for R/R compared to no R/R: median (IQR) 9,118 (2,849-18,456) and 868 (474-1,908), respectively (p< 0.001). In multivariable model, risk factors for R/R included TCD HCT (p< 0.0001) and higher VL at PET initiation (p=0.0002). In contrast, CMV seropositive donor (p=0.035) was protective (Figure 1). CMV EOD developed in 28.2% of R/R and 16.2% of no R/R groups (p=0.085) (Figure 2). Overall survival at 1 year was 59.1% for R/R compared to 83.1% for no R/R group (p=0.00027) (Figure 3). Figure 1. Adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) from multivariable model evaluating risk factors of refractory/resistant (R/R) CMV. Figure 2. Cumulative incidence curves of CMV end-organ disease (EOD) at 1-year post HCT Figure 3. Kaplan-Meier survival curves of overall survival (OS) at 1-year post HCT Conclusion 1) Refractory and/or resistant CMV occurred in 39,5% of PET recipients. 2) T-cell depletion and higher CMV VL at PET initiation were risk factors for R/R CMV in multivariable models. 3) R/R CMV was associated with more EOD and worse overall survival.

Abstract Background HIV-1 proviruses persist in people on antiretroviral therapy (ART) but most are defective and do not constitute a replication-competent reservoir. The decay of infected cells carrying intact compared with defective HIV-1 proviruses has not been well-defined in people on ART. Methods We separately quantified intact and defective proviruses (using an intact proviral DNA assay), residual plasma viremia, and markers of inflammation and activation in people on long-term ART. Longitudinal measurements were done at three timepoints: timepoint 1 was a median of 7.1 years on ART; timepoint 2 was a median of 3.7 years later; timepoint 3 was a median of 5.5 years after timepoint 1 and a median 12 years after starting ART (Figure 1). Figure 1: Study timepoints Results Among 40 participants tested longitudinally from a median of 7.1 years to 12 years after ART initiation, intact provirus levels declined significantly over time (median half-life 7.1 years; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.9, 18), whereas defective provirus levels did not decrease. The median half-life of total HIV-1 DNA was 41.6 years (95% CI, 13.6, 75). When we evaluated the change in proviral DNA per year, intact proviral DNA declined significantly more (p< 0.001) than defective proviral DNA (the latter did not change) (Figure 2). The proportion of all proviruses that were intact diminished over time on ART, from about 10% at the first on-ART timepoint to about 5% at the last timepoint (Figure 3). At timepoint 1, intact provirus levels on ART correlated with total HIV-1 DNA and residual plasma viremia, but there was no evidence for associations between intact provirus levels and inflammation or immune activation. Figure 2: Percent change in HIV-1 proviral DNA per year Figure 3: Total HIV-1 proviruses (grey bars) and the percentage of intact proviruses (red lines, displaying median, Q1, Q3) by timepoint. Conclusion Cells containing intact, replication-competent proviruses are selectively lost during suppressive ART.

Abstract Background C-itra is the drug of choice for treatment of most non-CNS, non-life-threatening forms of endemic mycoses (EM), including histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, sporotrichosis and talaromycosis. SUBA represents a new formulation of itraconazole that utilizes nanotechnology to improve bioavailability when administered orally. SUBA is formulated as nanoparticles allowing for absorption in the small bowel while not relying on gastric acidity for optimal absorption. MSG-15 is an open-label, comparative clinical trial comparing SUBA to c-itra for the treatment of EM. Herein we report the final PK and AE profiles of these two compounds. Methods Subjects with proven and probable EM were eligible this open-label comparative study. The protocol allowed up to 14 d of prior therapy with any antifungal for this episode of EM. Subjects were randomized to receive either SUBA 130 mg po bid or c-itra 200 mg po bid for up to 6 months. Follow up occurred at 7, 14, 28, 42, 84 and 180 d post-enrollment. PK samples were obtained at 7, 14, and 42 d. Clinical assessment, including symptom assessment, AEs, overall drug tolerance, and quality of life were assessed at each visit. We used descriptive statistics for this analysis. Results 89 subjects with EM entered the trial, including 43 on SUBA and 46 on c-itra. We measured PK serum levels of itra and hydroxyl-itra at days 7, 14, and 42 and these data are depicted in Figures 1-3. There were no significant differences in these levels, including combined itra/hydroxyl-itra levels, among the two study arms. AUC for itra and hydroxyl-itra were similar for both arms. AEs as assessed at each study evaluation were also quite similar among the two study arms. Overall, any AE occurred in 74% vs 85% of SUBA and c-itra recipients, respectively (NS). Drug-related AEs occurred in 35% vs 41% of SUBA and itra recipients, respectively (NS). Most common drug-related AEs included cardiovascular (edema and hypertension), nausea and loss of appetite. Combined Itraconazole and Hydroxy-itraconazole Concentration Over Time Conclusion Compared to c-itra, SUBA demonstrates almost identical serum levels despite being dosed at roughly 60% standard dosing for c-itra (130 mg po bid vs 200 mg po bid). SUBA is slightly better tolerated than c-itra, although the specific AEs are similar. Disclosures Peter G.

Abstract Background Remdesivir (RDV) has been shown to shorten recovery time and was well tolerated in patients with severe COVID-19. Here we report baseline characteristics associated with clinical improvement at day (d) 14. Methods We enrolled hospitalized patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, oxygen saturation >94% on room air, and radiological evidence of pneumonia. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive 5d or 10d of intravenous RDV once daily plus standard of care (SoC), or SoC only. For this analysis, patients were followed through discharge, d14, or death. Baseline demographic and disease characteristics associated with clinical improvement in oxygen support (≥2-point improvement on a 7-category ordinal scale ranging from discharge to death) were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression methods. Results 584 patients were randomized and treated (5/10d RDV, n=384; SoC: n=200). 159 (27%) were ≥65y, 227 (39%) female, 328 (61%) white, 102 (19%) Asian, and 99 (19%) Black. 252 participants (43%) were enrolled in Europe, 260 (45%) North America (NA), and 72 (12%) in Asia. Most patients (483 [83%]) were not on supplemental oxygen but required medical care at baseline. In a multivariable model, 5/10d RDV was significantly positively associated with clinical improvement (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.69, 95% CI: 1.08, 2.65; p=0.0226). Significant covariables positively associated with clinical improvement included age < 65y (p< 0.0001) and region of treatment (Europe and NA vs Asia, p< 0.0001 each; Table); other examined factors were not significantly associated with clinical improvement, including gender, race, ethnicity, baseline oxygen support, duration of symptoms and hospitalization, obesity, and baseline transaminase levels. Table 1. Conclusion In moderate COVID-19 patients, after adjusting for treatment arm, age < 65y and region (NA vs Asia; Europe vs Asia) were associated with higher rates of clinical improvement. These observations recapitulate younger age as positive prognostic factor, and highlight the differences in the impact of the pandemic globally.

Abstract Background Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) causes substantial morbidity and mortality. There is a lack of data on the comprehensive burden of CAP across the life span in Canada. We estimated the incidence of all-cause CAP in all age groups in Ontario and British Columbia (BC), Canada. Methods We identified hospitalized and outpatient CAP episodes from the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) and physician billing claims databases (Ontario Health Insurance Plan in Ontario and Medical Services Plan in BC) in both provinces. The National Ambulatory Care Reporting System was used to identify CAP episodes from emergency department visits in Ontario. CAP recorded with a primary or secondary diagnosis was identified using International Classification of Diseases 9 (480–486, 510, 513) and 10 (J10.0, J11.0, J12–J18, J86.9, J85.1) codes. We estimated the age and sex adjusted annual incidence of CAP overall, and by age groups (0–4, 5–17, 18–39, 40–64, 65–74, 75–84 and ≥85 years) according to routine childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) immunization periods from 2005–2018 in Ontario and from 2002–2018 in BC. Poisson regression models were fitted with population denominators from Statistics Canada to estimate the incidence rates. Results Ontario had 3,607,186 CAP episodes from 2005–2015 with a mean annual incidence of 2,801 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2,748, 2,854) per 100,000 population; incidence declined from 3,077/100,000 in 2005 to 2,604/100,000 in 2010 before increasing to 2,843/100,000 in 2018. BC had 1,146,172 CAP episodes from 2002–2008, with a mean annual incidence of 2,146 (95% CI: 2105, 2189); the incidence increased from 2,005 /100,000 in 2002 to 2,199/100,000 in 2018. A high incidence of CAP was observed in children aged 0–4 years and older adults, particularly in adults aged ≥85 years in both provinces across all PCV program periods (Figure 1). Figure 1: Age group-specific incidence of all-cause community-acquired pneumonia according to childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) program periods in Ontario (PCV7 [1 Jan 2005–30 Sep 2009]), PCV10 [1 Oct 2009–31 Oct 2010] and PCV13 [1 Nov 2010–31 Dec 2018]) and British Columbia (PCV7 [1 Sep 2003–31 May 2010] and PCV13 [1 Jun 2010–31 Dec 2018]), Canada Conclusion CAP continues to be a public health burden in Canada despite publicly funded pneumococcal vaccination programs. Ontario seems to have higher CAP burden than British Columbia that warrants further investigation. The youngest cohort of children and older adults contribute significantly to the CAP burden.

Abstract Background Acute respiratory tract infections (ARIs) are a significant cause of morbidity in adults. Influenza is associated with about 490,600 hospitalizations and 34,200 deaths in the US in the 2018-2019 season. The burden of rhinovirus among adults hospitalized with ARI is less well known. We compared the burden of influenza and rhinovirus from 2 consecutive winter respiratory viral seasons in hospitalized adults and healthy controls pre-COVID-19 and one season mid-COVID-19 to determine the impact of rhinovirus as a pathogen. Methods From Oct 2018 to Apr 2021, prospective surveillance of adults ≥50 years old admitted with ARI or COPD/CHF exacerbations at any age was conducted at two Atlanta hospitals. Adults were eligible if they lived within an eight-county region around Atlanta and if their symptom duration was < 14 days. In the seasons from Oct 2018 to Mar 2020, asymptomatic adults ≥50 years old were enrolled as controls. Standard of care test results were included and those enrolled contributed nasopharyngeal swabs that were tested for respiratory pathogens using BioFire® FilmArray® Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP). Results During the first two seasons, 1566 hospitalized adults were enrolled. Rhinovirus was detected in 7.5% (118) and influenza was detected in 7.7% (121). Rhinovirus was also detected in 2.2% of 466 healthy adult controls while influenza was detected in 0%. During Season 3, the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, influenza declined to 0% of ARI hospitalizations. Rhinovirus also declined (p=0.01) but still accounted for 5.1% of all ARIs screened (Figure 1). Rhinovirus was detected at a greater rate in Season 3 than in asymptomatic controls in the first 2 seasons (p=0.008). In the first two seasons, Influenza was detected in 8.6% (24/276) of those admitted to the ICU. Rhinovirus was detected in 6.1% (17/276) of those admitted to the ICU but declined to 3.1% (8/258) in Season 3. Figure 1. Percent Positive Cases of Influenza and Rhinovirus between Season 1&2 (hospitalized and healthy controls) vs Season 3 (hospitalized) Conclusion Dramatic declines occurred in influenza in adults hospitalized with ARI, CHF, or COPD in Atlanta during the COVID-19 pandemic and with enhanced public health measures. Although rhinovirus declined during the COVID-19 pandemic, it continued to be identified at a rate higher than in historical controls. Additional data are needed to understand the role of rhinovirus in adult ARI, CHF, and COPD exacerbations. Disclosures David L. Swerdlow, MD, Pfizer Vaccines (Employee) Robin Hubler, MS, Pfizer Inc.
