E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Premature children suffer from large variety of different accompanying diseases. Pneumoccocal diseases creates substantial proportion especially in children with undergoing diseases of respiratory tract and the courses of illnesses are overall more serious . Immunization by 7-PCV decreases a risk of pneumococcal complications – meningitis, pneumonia, septicemia etc. However, limited data on immunogenicity when using in pre-term infants in the Czech Republic exist. |

Written informed consent obtained from the parent or guardian of the subject.· Born after a gestation period between 25 and 37 weeks in study group and between 38 and 42 weeks in control group.
