摘要

Pneumococcal infections increase each winter, a phe-nomenon that has not been well explained. We conductedpopulation-based active surveillance for all cases of inva-sive pneumococcal disease in seven states; plotted annu-alized weekly rates by geographic location, age, and lati-tude; and assessed correlations by time-series analysis. Inall geographic areas, invasive pneumococcal diseaseexhibited a distinct winter seasonality, including anincrease among children in the fall preceding that for adultsand a sharp spike in incidence among adults each yearbetween December 24 and January 7. Pneumococcal dis-ease correlated inversely with temperature (r –0.82 with a1-week lag; p<0.0001), but paradoxically the coldest stateshad the lowest rates, and no threshold temperature couldbe identified. The pattern of disease correlated directly withthe sinusoidal variations in photoperiod (r +0.85 with a 5-week lag; p<0.0001). Seemingly unrelated seasonal phe-nomena were also somewhat correlated. The reproducibleseasonal patterns in varied geographic locations are con-sistent with the hypothesis that nationwide seasonalchanges such as photoperiod-dependent variation in hostsusceptibility may underlie pneumococcal seasonality, butcaution is indicated in assigning causality as a result ofsuch correlations
