The study underscores the importance of increasing vaccination in adults to prevent invasive pneumococcal disease, especially in risk groups (older adults and/or those with comorbidities).
There is a need to continue developing and improving pneumococcal vaccines to expand their coverage, given the great capacity of these pathogens to adapt.

A Bellvitge research team has conducted a randomized clinical trial in hematological patients with febrile neutropenia to assess the efficacy of extended infusion of beta-lactam antibiotics

The results show that extended perfusion may be useful in combating some infections, but do not support the introduction of this technique into daily clinical practice for the empirical treatment of febrile neutropenia.
